CelebnSports247.com reports that Michael Vick, 41, four-time Pro Bowler hasn’t played since the 2015 season — officially retiring in 2017 — but we’re told after seeing the success Terrell Owens had in the league earlier this year, MV decided to make a comeback.
It’s unclear which team Michael Vick will play for or for how long … but our sources say the quarterback is just looking to be like Owens and have some football fun in his 40s. Vick has clearly still been keeping his arm in shape despite retirement … he filmed a video earlier this month with Rich Eisen where he proved he can still throw a football out of a stadium.
CBS Sports reports:
According to the report, Vick’s comeback was prompted by the success of personal friend and Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receiver Terrell Owens, who signed with the league earlier this year. Vick joins Owens among notable former NFL players participating in the Fan Controlled League, a condensed 7-on-7 style version of football that takes place on a 50-yard field and allows fans to call plays.
Playing in the Fan Controlled League will mark Vick’s first football action in five years, when he participated in a flag football league shortly after he announced his retirement from the NFL in February of 2017. Vick’s last NFL action came in 2015, when he played in five games and started three as a backup to Ben Roethlisberger on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Michael Vick still got it ?
