Michael Vick, Hall of Famer? Atlanta Falcons Legend Reveals Surprising Answer
There is nothing wrong with self-confidence, or even arrogance; maybe it is that inner strength that as much as anything can fuel a stellar NFL career.
That's why an admission from Michael Vick - certainly stellar during the 2000s as a standout quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons but then dealing with legal troubles before another good run with the Philadelphia Eagles - is so stunning.
Should Michael Vick have a bust in Canton as a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame?
"Realistically, I feel like I ain't do enough," Vick himself said.
Is Vick being overly modest? Is Vick wrong?
Michael Vick
Appearing on The Boardroom: Out of Office podcast, Vick conceded that he doesn't feel he did enough during his 13 years in the league to be listed among the all-time greats.
Vick was certainly a polarizing person while in the NFL. But was he also a polarizing player? Falcons fans will remember him as one of the fastest players in league history. Defensive coordinators will remember him as one of the most dangerous offensive weapons in league history.
When Vick retired, he did so as the NFL's all-time leading rusher among quarterbacks. He was the first quarterback to rush for over 1,000 yards. But ... the MVP trophy was never his. He also never quite made All-Pro. And while his record as a starter - 61-51-1 - is a "team" thing more than it is a "Vick" thing, his critics can argue that he never quite took his team over the top.
Is Michael Vick a Hall of Famer? Falcons fans can believe so ... even though Vick himself modestly does not.
