Iconic NFL QB Michael Vick graces Madden Cover 20 years later and shares how the fall from the top humbled him but the climb back was even harder on him.
Everything about quarterback Michael Vick’s game was electric. He was a human highlight-reel who made infamous plays in every game he was under center. And in 2003, he was named the cover athlete for Madden 2004. Little did EA Sports know that Vick’s legacy as a quarterback icon would face as many bumps as it did.
20 years later, Ryan, Channing and Fred sit down with legend Michael Vick to honor the anniversary of him being named to the Madden NFL cover.
Hailing from Virginia, Michael Vick always dreamt differently, thinking about a future of success from a young age. He tells the guys the difficulties of being a trailblazing quarterback at Virginia Tech, and about how being drafted to the Falcons was a blessing, even with its downsides.
Remaining close to home became detrimental for Vick, but the man who revolutionized the game had to reset himself during his time in jail. He tells a story of coach Tony Dungy’s sincere visit to him at a federal prison in Kansas, and how a meeting with Dungy, Andy Reid and Roger Goodell gave his career a second wind.
The 2010 Comeback Player of the Year truly reset his game, and life. Vick explains how he has become an animal welfare advocate while also holding football camps for kids. A young Michael Vick once had a goal of only being drafted to the NFL and he touches on how grateful he was to be named the Madden NFL 2004 cover athlete.
Ryan, Channing and Fred have played alongside and against some impactful athletes, but they talk about how Vick transcended the game with there being few comparable players ever.
The same kid who ran around the streets of Newport News, Virginia has been running around the screens of Madden users for over two decades, and despite his two-year absence from football, he will go down as one of football’s all-time stars.

These kids have no idea the impact Mike Vick had on the league and all of sports during that time!!

@blinkonce29

It makes me happy to hear Vick say that when he had zero dollars and first got out T.I wired him money instantly. And acknowledged that he had the support from the community in Atlanta. I grew up in Atlanta and I just started middle school when Vick got drafted, he was our idol...no exaggeration. He was what Deion Sanders was to our parents. To this day Vick is still 1 of the most beloved people in Atlanta. What Allen Iverson is to Philadelphia, Vick is to Atlanta . My mom told me of I got all A's she'd buy me a Vick jersey...I got all A's. We love you Mike Vick, you were the best.

@kennethjacobs3716

I'm 37 and was hustling grown men on Madden back in the day. It was one rule though. You couldn't use the Falcons. 😂

@coldchilln

And Vick did it when they was really hitting QBs. Today they protect the QBs. He was really playing against defenders that will really hit you!

@mvlone2k7

we need shannon and sterling sharpe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Odin1177

@jriley810

I love Michael Vick! Even though he lost everything, he never gave up. He humbled himself and did a 180-degree turn. Now he's on the path of enlightening the young kids. It's a good thing to learn from your mistakes. Great interview ❤

RC being able to ask the toughest questions in the best way is such an amazing part of all these interviews. Amazing interviews. Top 5 favorite player of mine EVER I'm god he came on!

@lelemck1761

Proud of Vick’s growth. Continued blessings and prosperity to him and his family.

@TheLamont0914

Dawg,Vick just autographed his own darn video game! 🔥🔥That's hard

@Drenchhh32

Channing , Fred and Vick super fried in the beginning of this video talking bout what they keep they air on 😂😂😂😂 Ryan sober self had to bring them back on topic 😂

@shuvaughnshelley-yancy1202

I feel that Vick would be a great mentor for an upcoming quarterback.

@mbo68

I love seeing Michael in a good place. Living in Atlanta when he was our quarterback was so exciting. No other athlete has had the kind of effect on the city that he had.
