Michael Vick

This is my hero for many reasons. I chose Mick Vick because he's good at what he does and I think he's one of the best quarterbacks in the game. He's also a person many admire after coming out of college in Virginia Tech. He was a star there, then ended up on the falcons as the backup QB, but would soon find himself starting for the Falcons. A lot would be on his shoulders.

When Vick started his first game, they found something special in him and it wasn't just his throwing, but his running as well. He could make things happen with his feet at the quarterback position. This made him a double threat at the position.

He lead the Atlanta Falcons to the playoffs. It was their first in a while, so it was a real special moment for the team. He then lead them to their second playoffs in two years. Because of his incredible ability and his heart, Michael Vick is my hero.
