Michael Vick is a former American football quarterback. Regarded as having transformed the quarterback position with his rushing abilities, he is the NFL leader in quarterback rushing yards and was the league’s first quarterback to rush for 1,000 yards in a season.
He was born on June 26, 1980, in Newport News, Virginia, United States.
Michael is the second of four children to Brenda Vick and Michael Boddie, then unmarried teenagers.
His mother worked two jobs, obtained public financial assistance, and had help from her parents, while his father worked long hours in the shipyards as a sandblaster and spray-painter.
They were married when Michael was about five years old, but the children elected to continue to use their “Vick” surname. The family lived in the Ridley Circle Homes, a public housing project in a financially depressed and crime-ridden neighborhood located in the East End section of the port city.
