The legends joining Vick will be Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis, Buffalo Bills defensive end Bruce Smith and Washington Redskins cornerback Darrell Green. Vick is the only one among them not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
While many people wouldn’t associate Vick with the Steelers, his final playing days in the NFL came with the Black and Gold in 2015. He started three games, winning two of them. He passed for 371 yards and two touchdowns.
In his 13-year career, Vick was known mostly for his time with the Atlanta Falcons and Philadelphia Eagles. He also did a stint with the New York Jets. In all, he threw for 22,464 yards and 133 touchdowns.
He’s notoriously known for serving a 23-month sentence on federal charges related to his dog-fighting operation.
However, Vick sought to turn his life around after being released from prison, advocating for new and stricter animal-welfare laws and educating young people about animal welfare.
The 2020 Pro Bowl is Jan. 20at Camping World Stadium.
