Michael Vick is back on the football field, although it will be a different one from the last time we saw him.
The 41-year-old is suiting up to play in a football game for the first time since 2015 this month. According to Reuters, the former No. 1 NFL draft pick will make his Fan Controlled Football debut on Saturday, May 28, which is the date of the league’s last regular season games.
We are not sure of which team he will be suiting up for.
The dual-threat quarterback agreed to join FCF after seeing his friend, former NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens, find success in the league, per Frank Pingue of Reuters.
Fan Controlled Football began last year and consists of eight teams for its second season. The game is played in a 7-on-7 style of American football.
After being drafted with the No. 1 pick by the Falcons in 2001, he went on to play for six seasons in Atlanta before he was suspended for his participation in a dog-fighting ring. He spent two years in prison for his involvement in an illegal dogfighting enterprise.
Vick then played five seasons with the Eagles, even earning the 2010 Comeback Player of the Year. He then served as a backup quarterback for the Jets and Steelers in his final two seasons before retiring from the NFL in 2017.
