Marcus Vick Draft Sweepstakes

[MJZiggy]

He'll just leech off of his brother for the rest of his life. Now watch someone picks him up.

I bet he's really pleased wid hiself right now!

If you didnt see the ESPN interviews during the draft, he was VERY pleased with himself. Nice how this lowlife got more camera time then all the Packers draft pick put together. Just goes to show you how much ESPN sucks.

LEAGUE STOMPS ON VICK'S LEG

To the surprise of no one, former Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick was not among the 255 players selected in the 2006 draft.

Were there 255 players better than Vick last season? Hardly. But in an era where character means more than ever (except in Cincinnati), Marcus and his various misadventures equated to a one way ticket to street free agency.

Assuming, of course, that anyone will sign him.

Adding insult to indignity was the fact that the team for which the brother of Marcus is the starting signal-caller selected in the seventh round of the quarterback an athletic young quarterback who, like Marcus, was a starter at the college level for only one year.

So it was D. J. Shockley, not Marcus Vick, who'll get to play pro football in Atlanta. And if Marcus truly thinks he can be a better quarterback than his big brother, Marcus surely believes that he's already a better quarterback, in every way, than Shockley.

It'll be very interesting to see what, if anything, Michael Vick has to say about this one. Given that he's been popping off about anything else that's been on his mind this offseason, we figure that it's only a matter of time before Michael takes a swipe at management for dissing his kin.

Oh absolutely someone will pick him up. Teams with needs and not a care for personal problems like the Raiders or Ravens are prob the frontrunners imo...

It's like the National Enquirer - for the NFL.

ESPN interview this guy during the draft??? Way to focus on the draft, boys.

Interviewing him after to discuss his not getting drafted would've been worthwhile. But to have him take any limelight away from the kids who actually got selected is stupid.

Doesn't look like anyone picked him up today. I'm surprised no one has ANY interest.

I don't know. Were I a GM, I don't know if I'd take on an unproven talent that has a true knack for getting himself into trouble with the law. It's hard to play QB from jail and it seems like that is the direction he's leaning. Everyone was up in arms because Caroll slapped a cop's hand away, but this kid was last found waving a gun at minors. There may even still be charges pending with that. Who needs that kind of headache from day 1?

Any team stupid enough to audition or sign that moron deserves what's coming to them....trouble. He has received 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th chances. All because he plays football at VaTech and his last name is Mexico, I mean, Vick.

His interview on draft day proves that he has no clue that he has no NFL talent and that he needs an attitude adjustment...pronto!

Years ago, didn't Brent Moss show up at the Dolphins minicamp to "audition"?
I expect Marcus Vick's career will closely mirror Brent's. It's a shame; it's also called a self-inflicted wound (or wounds).
Last I heard, Moss had turned his life around, and was giving lectures to impressionable youth: "Don't mess up like I did."
