'''Michael Dwayne Vick''' (born [[June 26]], [[1980]] in [[Newport News, Virginia]]) is an [[American football]] [[quarterback]] for the [[National Football League|National Football League's]] [[Atlanta Falcons]] franchise. He is the older brother of [[Miami Dolphins]] [[wide receiver]] [[Marcus Vick]], and the [[second cousin]] of [[Oakland Raiders]] quarterback [[Aaron Brooks]]. He is the most overrated and overhyped player in the history of the NFL.

At 6'-0" and 215 pounds, the left-handed passing Vick is one of the smaller quarterbacks in the league but is regarded by many pundits and fans as being one of the NFL's most exciting players due to his speed, agility, and arm strength. However, Vick's detractors have pointed to his mediocre passing statistics and ratings, as well as his inability to lead his team to consistent playoff appearances.
