1:These are highlights from his freshman year only. I couldn't find all of his sophomore year games, so I'll make that video later. 2: Please keep these comments civil. - Pocky -
Not to mention the joystick, John Randell, Lott, Rice, Chad Johnson, TO, tony G, and others. Also could you imagine if Steve largent had gloves? Dude rarely dropped with bare hands he'd be cheesing with gloves. Also Warren Moon made it so it wasn't a white man position he made it so it was ok these guys can bomb it fifty plus down field not just RBs and WRs and it was guys like Wilson that made it ok we can have a TE block, but also go 20 yards down field. A lot of this was coaches seeing hey this guy can play at this position well.
My senior year was Vick's redshirt year. I lived next door to 3 football players and used to hear about this freshman who was absolutely destroying our first team defense in practice and scrimmages. We were a top 5 in the country defense at the time. People forget just how good of a passer he was in college, he had some accuracy issues in the NFL but not while at Tech.
My senior year was also his freshman year, and I can remember asking one of the football players if this new QB was any good. I wonder what the coaches thought when they saw how good he was before he actually started playing. I had to renounce my Vick fandom though, once I heard about all the horrible things he did to those helpless dogs. Greatest talent ever to play the game of football, he is lucky no one actually saw the crimes he commited to those poor animals though.
Always drive me crazy hearing people say “he’s just a runner.” He could effortlessly sling the ball and had two really good receivers. I also used to think if I was coaching defense, and Vick ran the option, ignore the runner and go after Vick. The running back might get 20 yards but Vick will most likely score lol. You’re absolutely right though, he was a great passer in college. Most exciting college player I’ve ever watched in my 52 years. I’d have to put Johnny Football second.
@@blxbrg2169 Vick has arguably a top 5 arm talent in nfl history, the guy could throw a football 80 yards with one of the tightest spirals ever, and all of it throwing with his left hand which makes it even more crazy
@@ballsballsballs3617 I actually was lucky enough to see him throw one of his insane passes out of Lane!!!! He actually was #1 in passing efficiency in the country the 1999 season, I believe that’s correct. And a lefty like you said
@blxbrg2169 I've never seen anyone say he had a bad arm lol. He was a terrible passer, as he had 25th or lower completion percentage every single season he was with the falcons
You know what?? When someone apologizes, you can genuinely recognize if they mean it or not. Michael Vick, Ray Lewis, and Michael Phelps are GREAT examples of this! These are guys who made careless mistakes, but so what?? They realized that they had to become better men for themselves, their families, and they also realized that (whether they like it or not) they're role models! If you ask me, it's one thing to say "I made a mistake" and then turn around and make the same dumb mistakes over and over and over again, but it's another thing to say it, actually grow up and learn from it, and not let it happen again. These gentlemen are awesome examples of turning tragedy into triumph. Keep up the great work, Mr. Vick!!
Michael Vick is the best dual threat quaterback ever!!! Let's go Hokies!!! I ❤ VT!!! I love Virginia Tech football!!! As a Georgia Bulldogs fan, I have mad respect for the Virginia Tech hokies and I also have mad respect for my boy Michael Vick!!! I love Michael Vick!!! Let's go Hokies!!! I ❤ VT football!!!
We all love people if they can run fast or throw a football far, not a good reason to love someone. We should love them for their character which he didnt have.
i will never forget that game. florida state was supposed to win by 20+ in a massive blowout, and vick had them right in the game very late into the 3rd quarter and he finally ran outta gas in the 4th, and FSU finally pulled away.
Was there and it was just something special that man had. Ridiculous speed, insane balance and vision. People who say he had no arm strength and was not a precision passer have never seen him live. He had it all may never see it again
It was such an Honor to have Michael Vick as the Starting QB of My Philadelphia Eagles, he was truly amazing to watch on that field & we here in Eagles nation are forever greatfull to # 7 from Virginia Tech.
What a wonderful video of Mikes 2000 season. I did a search for it and found yours. I went crazy that year following VT. BTW Andre Davis and that Defense were a "BEAST".
I almost love seeing Vick throw the ball more than him running the ball. He's an absolute phenom running, but his passes are so smooth and effortlessly thrown its unreal to watch
PockyCandy Thanx for this compilation! I was just watching Virginia vs Virginia Tech 2017, and only wish Tech had a QB like Vick! He was a lone threat on wheels, with eyes and a gun!
For anyone who played Pop Warner-watching Vick reminds me of that one guy who went through puberty before everyone else in the league so that he’s so much more explosive that it just seems unfair. Amazing player.
19:41-19:50 is plain right unfair. A QB isn't supposed to that, in that situation. Let alone, against an athletically supreme talented defensive team, like The U.
More than Barry Sanders, Reggie Bush, Deion Sanders, Rocket Ismail, and Percy Harvin??? Hell, even Warrick's best season (1998) pales in comparison to a player of the same position - Randy Moss (1997).
They play in the same division in high school ... Curry at Hampton High School in Hampton Virginia.... Vick at Warwick High in Newport News Va. Curry won 3 stright Virginia state championships.... Vick never beat Curry in highschool..... Curry was then and still is the best quarterback recruit to ever come out VA..... that same region also produced Aaron Brooks.... Tyrod Taylor.... EJ Emmanuel...... Southeast Virginia is the home of the black quarterback...... that region also produced Lawrence Taylor... Bruce Smith ...Plaxico Burress ...DeAngelo Hall ...Kam Chancellor..... Percy Harvin... and many many more
Yo I thought the nfl was going to have to change the rules because of michael Vick man.... The Falcons fukdup his career he had no offensive line and no wrs
King James Actually, Ernie Davis RB was the first African American to be drafted #1 overall to the NFL in ‘62 (to the Redskins whom they traded to the Browns) from Syracuse (incidentally, he was also the 1st AA to be awarded the Heisman trophy). Tragically, Davis never played a down in the NFL as he was diagnosed & died of leukemia in ‘63. In fact, Vick wasn’t even the 1st AA Hokie to be drafted #1 overall. That was Bruce Smith DE in ‘85 (to the Bills).
There's a good recent ESPN documentary on Vick.... he explains how he just get's in the zone and things slow down when he's snapping the ball or running.
its crazy to think that vick said he never really trained, did work outs, studied film or the playbooks, and he did what he did. he basically has said that everything we saw him do was purely off natural talent and ability, and he really never put in the type of work a professional athlete usually has to put in to be able to compete with their peers. wonder what he woulda did if he had the mindset of someone like kobe who was known for his legendary workout and training.
imagine if Vick had been allowed to play in the NFL with the same offense that has been built around Lamar Jackson...the Ravens would have never lost a game.
Lol yeah with Lamars legendary receivers of a rookie with screws in his foot, Willie Snead and Seth Robert's right? Vick fans always say he could have done what Lamar has, but why didn't he just do it?
I don’t care what the Vick haters say, the man had a pinpoint rocket launcher for a arm!!! Let’s give huge respect for Andre Davis as well. Man could catch anything near him!!!! It’s a great time to be a Hokie!!!!
wut bout the other lefty played for the state of virginia... pat white. btw... i enjoyed every minute of this video. #1randall cunningham #2mike vick of my all time greats. good work on this video😎
We might not never see a quarter back with the same blend of skills 4.1 speed can throw 80yards and improvise any given moment um surreal some come close but not like Vick make u hold your breath 😉 🤔
The fucked up thing he won't get into the hall of fame because of u know what, he changed the AN position that's y he's a hall of famer imagine if he gave a fuck a first, it will be Vick vs brady,Rogers, brees, manning, with Russel, Cam, Dak, Mariota, ready to take the keys ,
What, you mean the eloctrocuting, hanging and torturing mans best friend for years and years. And also he stats and winning in the NFL are neither HOF caliber. Coming from a former Vick fan
Absolutely!!!! Andre caught anything close to him. Made Mike Vick a better player. Check out the video of him scoring 3 touchdown in three different ways
I love his agility as a hokie, he put us on the map. In reality it was one ankle snap or injury away ....... that's the sacrifice with dual threat QB's. Either have a good O line for a pocket passer like T Brady or a good D threat. Can't have both.

Jj
His freshman year was all that mattered! It was the reason he was the number one pick in the draft a year later!
Love the score against uva
Vick highlights are like Tyson knockouts to me… could watch anytime!
Randy moss,Mike VICK Barry Sanders, Deion Sanders, changed the NFL with there unique style of play and athleticism
Silo G bo Jackson
Silo G dont forget Cunningham.
Yeah, you forgot Bo Jackson and Randall Cunningham.
Joshua L both of y’all forgot Steve Young Vick’s inspiration what he wanted to be as QB Young has the legs and the Arm

Vick is def up there but Peter Warrick was the most electrifying college fball player ever!!!
Had a 22-2 Record at Virginia Tech. One of the CFB Greats.
A god playing the QB position. Most talented QB of all time.
Tell 'em.
Might be my favorite football player of all time. No one was as much fun to watch for me.
Agree..smooth as silk
I think Kyler has the potential to surpass him as far as most talented
Also literally a devil playing the QB position 😂
Mike vick will always be a legend. Never seen a guy so effortlessly throw a ball 65yds in the air. Him arm was stupid
Totally agree, I keep seeing post talking about how he had a bad arm and was a terrible passer. Mike had a arm like nobody else with 4.3 speed

Bobby Mason well said!
You can make the argument that neither Ray Lewis nor Michael Phelps did anything wrong
@@sterlingwilliams8645for sure. Especially Phelps. Dude was just tryna chill lol
Vick had an absolute cannon for an arm. He effortlessly throws the ball 50 plus yards.
More like 70+
Vick was so fun to watch that year
Michael Vick is the best dual threat quaterback ever!!! Let's go Hokies!!! I ❤ VT!!! I love Virginia Tech football!!! As a Georgia Bulldogs fan, I have mad respect for the Virginia Tech hokies and I also have mad respect for my boy Michael Vick!!! I love Michael Vick!!! Let's go Hokies!!! I ❤ VT football!!!
Thanks for the love from a Hokie, y’all might get the Natty this season. Good luck rest of the season
We all love people if they can run fast or throw a football far, not a good reason to love someone. We should love them for their character which he didnt have.
Lamar Jackson 🤷🏾♂️
He was the best dual threat until 2019 and now has been passed by numerous qbs
He ALMOST beat FSU single-handedly for 3 quarters in the championship game but came up short in the 4th. Superman wore Michael Vick PJs. LOL
I was feeling like the only 1 who thought that. That man was definitely Blessed with amazing talent.

Yo wtf
😂😂yo wtf. No way that's not edited in
#87 be blessed
😂😂😂😂
I was looking for ANYONE to call it out, you were the first I saw, ty! 😂😂 I thought I was hearing shit
This Man Mike Vick... Is The Wolverine Of The Quarter Back Position... Titanium Passes... With A Ferocious.... Vision To Run The 🏈 Ball....
once in a lifetime will you see this
Vick to Andre Davis was a deadly combo. I wish Davis had more success in the NFL.
It was such an Honor to have Michael Vick as the Starting QB of My Philadelphia Eagles, he was truly amazing to watch on that field & we here in Eagles nation are forever greatfull to # 7 from Virginia Tech.
He was the most physically gifted QB to ever play the game. His own immaturity is the only thing that kept him from being the GOAT
Vick was amazing man!!!!!!!!!!!! Unreal the best, the smoothest, he had a tank's main gun for an arm.
1:23 ..... idc who you are QB's shouldn't have been able to pull that off at that time yet he did it with perfection, absolutely perfect
The greatest college player ever
Young Rain bo and Barry too
Michael Elston Tim Tebow isn’t top 10
Michael Elston Tebow is a failure
Not even close.
nalim lattarai not in college...
Michael Vick had the quickest 1st step of any quarterback. His time in Atlanta before the arrest were fun time to have season tickets
What a wonderful video of Mikes 2000 season. I did a search for it and found yours. I went crazy that year following VT. BTW Andre Davis and that Defense were a "BEAST".

1:20 lol ppl don’t understand how different this man was at football! Lol
Thank you Michael
This is literally my favorite channel. Good work!!!
Thanks for the compliment my good sir! This just so happens to be my favorite channel as well!
Vick was amazing
incredible! lots of time put in.
I'm so very thankful and blessed for you making this video..
Well, thank you for enjoying this video!
Thank you
Put Va Tech football in the national spotlight
For anyone who played Pop Warner-watching Vick reminds me of that one guy who went through puberty before everyone else in the league so that he’s so much more explosive that it just seems unfair. Amazing player.
Vick was just different. He changed the game of college football
This channel is pure awesomeness!!
Spihk Heartbust!? Spihk Heartbust internet friends for people in store when falcon server Dovidio's Facebook rifle was Purchased!!
Headphones on, volume up @7:57 mark. Wow
Number 87 has a what???...😳😳😳
87 hung bro
19:41-19:50 is plain right unfair. A QB isn't supposed to that, in that situation. Let alone, against an athletically supreme talented defensive team, like The U.
He was hurt that game too.
He earned the name Superman, a canon of an arm and the agility of a top running back.
Michael Vick if hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard were a person
Vick is def up there but Peter Warrick was the most electrifying college fball player ever!!!
More than Barry Sanders, Reggie Bush, Deion Sanders, Rocket Ismail, and Percy Harvin??? Hell, even Warrick's best season (1998) pales in comparison to a player of the same position - Randy Moss (1997).
He changed the game and paved the way for many of today’s mobile quarterbacks
Vick literally got a expressway built to Blacksburg
thank you
You're welcome!
Come On Tech. I Need This Shit Again. Get It On. You Gotta Win One For Coach. 😢❤️Tech.
Imagine if Vick put in the work early instead of just leaning on talent......he would of been invincible
Legendary Hokie
Over 20 years later, no one has a head and shoulders better highlight tape, regardless of position.
Vick had a cannon he forever a falcon it’s still 7 Vick jerseys in the building 24 years later is crazy
It's Just Insanity. Greatest Show On Earth. I can watch Vick Highlights all day.
Looking all over for this
He was a cheetah with a cannon
Pocky Candy--you're incredible, thank you!
man i love vick bro , #757
Him and Ronald Curry were freak athletes....
They play in the same division in high school ... Curry at Hampton High School in Hampton Virginia.... Vick at Warwick High in Newport News Va. Curry won 3 stright Virginia state championships....

Percy Harvin... and many many more
We saw what happened to Curry
Yo I thought the nfl was going to have to change the rules because of michael Vick man....
The Falcons fukdup his career he had no offensive line and no wrs
Also the fact that he didn't prepare like the great qbs until he got to Philly
I'm pretty sure 2 years for dogfighting fucked his career.
@MrTimLee84 And even at that point he only had 1 genuinely great season with the eagles
Vick was one of the most explosive QB to ever play the game
This is why he was the 1st African American to be drafted #1 overall in the NFL
#Greatness

Superman.
There's a good recent ESPN documentary on Vick.... he explains how he just get's in the zone and things slow down when he's snapping the ball or running.
who els id still watchimg this in 2021
Still watching this in 2022, hahahaha
Ed Reed with the tackle so ole school 19:35 in.
its crazy to think that vick said he never really trained, did work outs, studied film or the playbooks, and he did what he did. he basically has said that everything we saw him do was purely off natural talent and ability, and he really never put in the type of work a professional athlete usually has to put in to be able to compete with their peers. wonder what he woulda did if he had the mindset of someone like kobe who was known for his legendary workout and training.

Could you do a Colt Brennan one? 👀👀
A flip in full equipment. Insane.
2000 looking like 1983
I Love this video..............
i love to watch mv play
The ball just pops off his hands....
1:25 scared the hell outta me lol
Yeah, me too. I thought that he had torn something after that play.
Go VT! Best team in college football
I don’t care what the Vick haters say, the man had a pinpoint rocket launcher for a arm!!! Let’s give huge respect for Andre Davis as well. Man could catch anything near him!!!! It’s a great time to be a Hokie!!!!
I got a special request homie........if you have the footage and the time.....could you make a Peter Warrick video?
I'll look around and see what I can find.
I’m a Hokie but I would love to see a Warrick highlight video. Dude was amazing
Do Jamarcus Russell lsu
Ain't nothing like Brent Musburger. Calling some Hokie / Vick games.
looks like 10 wvu or miami fans dont approve lol. this whole team was loaded with special players.thanks for posting, enjoyed it much
John Akers 2000 Miami would roll Michael Vick
A little respect for Andre Davis..beast
@28:24 Look at that release! Goddamn!!
Vick had a *EFFORTLESS* release & a lethal canon.
1:21 wow
what style of offense did he run?
wut bout the other lefty played for the state of virginia... pat white. btw... i enjoyed every minute of this video. #1randall cunningham #2mike vick of my all time greats. good work on this video😎
Imagine being a fan of Pat white yet not even knowing what state he played in
Vick said going to prison was the best thing for him, because he found Christ inside those walls. Vick will always be my favorite
Just imagine if he would have been more of a student of the game.
U want to see how good he was go watch the national title game against Florida st
That's right! Nobody gave him credit for his arm and the prettiest left hand release. Hmm, I wonder why...
Do Robert griffin iii
We might not never see a quarter back with the same blend of skills 4.1 speed can throw 80yards and improvise any given moment um surreal some come close but not like Vick make u hold your breath 😉 🤔
Could you make a colt Brennan
kwc10231 this guy knows
Do Kevin Faulk...LSU
Dude's arms and legs just worked different. That's what athleticism is anyway.
The Good Oooold Days.
The fucked up thing he won't get into the hall of fame because of u know what, he changed the AN position that's y he's a hall of famer imagine if he gave a fuck a first, it will be Vick vs brady,Rogers, brees, manning, with Russel, Cam, Dak, Mariota, ready to take the keys ,
What, you mean the eloctrocuting, hanging and torturing mans best friend for years and years. And also he stats and winning in the NFL are neither HOF caliber. Coming from a former Vick fan
Vick is what Manziel could have been
Their collage highlights look very similar
Looks just like Madden '04
made it look smooth and easy then fast IT was his game.
Greatest overall QB.... Ever
Ok, so Mike Vick and all, but can we go ahead and give Mr. Andre Davis his flowers!!
Absolutely!!!! Andre caught anything close to him. Made Mike Vick a better player. Check out the video of him scoring 3 touchdown in three different ways
FROM..
LORD JOSEPH..
Look I know he never got the gaudy passing numbers or won a championship but this the Goat in my eyes
I love his agility as a hokie, he put us on the map. In reality it was one ankle snap or injury away ....... that's the sacrifice with dual threat QB's. Either have a good O line for a pocket passer like T Brady or a good D threat. Can't have both.
