5 Reasons Michael Vick Will Play in the NFL Again

Michael Vick Given Second Chance

As reports of Michael Vick making a return to the NFL comes pouring in through the media many are asking one question: Will anyone pick him up?

The answer-Yes. It's Michael Vick.

No matter how much you hate him, no matter how much you judge him for his past aggressions, someone will pick him up.

Before you cuss me out here's why:

  1. NFL Team organizations are businesses -As much as we hate it, when it comes down to the idea of Football, it's about filling seats. Michael Vick can do that. He's 29, still well primed to play. It only takes a contract from a team, some time to practice for some preseason, and well, it's time to play.
  2. Michael Vick is a business, not a player- He was in music videos, to everyone sporting his number 7 jersey like it was never going to go out of style. Expect the same to happen again. He has the greatest story of them all: How he messed up a prominent career, and how he plans to make amends with fans.
  3. His running came is beastlike-529 attempts with over 3,000 yards. Michael can make a defense think twice, it not three times. His passing average was a little suspect in 2006 (a little over 50 percent with over 2,000 yards though) but when you add the two areas of rushing and passing together, you've got a quarterback playoff worthy for any team that's got nothing to lose.
  4. Teams who crashed and burned will consider-You just wait and see: Detriot's sorry performance last year of winning not one game(Yes. I said it was sorry. You was thinking it) makes Michael Vick not only a possible candidate for that team but a way to regenerate a failing franchise. Detriot hasn't had a marketable player since Barry Sanders. Vick's fit there would simply say, "Hey, we've hit rock bottom. Is there anywhere else to go? But up?"
  5. People will come out of curiosity-Again this goes back to the business of filling seats. People will come just to boo him, while others will come and see what two years of prison time has done to his football skills. He will be the biggest rubbernecked player on the field and off the field the NFL has had in a very long time. The only NFL news that could bump this off the front pages is if Brett Farve signs with the Minnesota Vikings, a story that could be made into an epic movie.

So all you folks out there that think an NFL team will just ignore him for his law-abiding issues, think again. In the end, it's not about how you get the Super Bowl, it's about getting there any at all. Shoot, some would just be happy to get to the playoffs.

:))- Laugh with me.
