Rising Star

Rising Star – Michael Vick is not only currently the leading rusher on the Atlanta Falcons team, Vick "has 24 carries for 184 yards, ranking him seventh in the NFC in rushing." That’s over 7.6 yards per carry, in a league where running backs are usually considered Pro Bowl material if they average 5 yards per carry. He’s on a pace to come close to a thousand yard rushing season, a goal for which all running backs struggle, but most don’t achieve in the NFL.

Michael Vick is a quarterback. Second year. And he’s no slouch in that department, either: "Vick’s overall passer rating of 101.1 is No. 6 in the NFL." Just a reminder for any football fans; watch this guy, he’s the Real Deal.
