Michael Vick

Michael Vick starred at Virginia Tech before Atlanta made him the first overall selection in the 2001 NFL Draft. His combination of running ability and passing created a distinctive challenge for defenses, and he helped the Falcons reach the NFC Championship Game following the 2004 season.

After serving a prison sentence related to a dogfighting conspiracy, Vick returned to the NFL with Philadelphia in 2009. His 2010 season brought the Associated Press NFL Comeback Player of the Year award. He later played for the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers.
