Became first Africanâ??American Quarterback to be chosen with the 1st pick overall by Atlanta in the 2001 NFL Draft. Synopsis: Mike Vick can dodge would be defenders, spin them 180 degrees and take off downfield while adjusting his helmet in a single motion. His electrifying, gravity defying moves are so incredible to watch that they conjured one word of appropriate description: breathtaking. With feet quick as Barry Sanders and the throwing arm as strong and accurate as Dan Marino, Vick has been endorsed as a new breed of quarterback. Clocking a 4.1 (40) he is considered the fastest to ever play the position. Because of these attributes and his ability to escape tight situations some sports writers have dubbed him Whodinni. Special Moves: 360 degree spin - Looks like Madden 2003 when you hit the circle button. Leaves defenders dazzled, bewildered, and confused. Used only in extreme situations to escape tight spots 180 degree spin â?? Like the 360 spin but to a lesser degree. Used to free space or open throwing lanes. Forward/Back Flip â?? Much like an acrobat Vick uses and array of flips moves to gain extra yardages or score touchdowns. Should only be tried by Professional athletes. The Reverse â?? Vick leads defenders to one side of the field with a steady trot, only to reverse direction using their speed as well as his own against them. When done effectively, will leave and entire team in the dust. Stiff Arm â?? Like the Late Great Walter Payton, Vick is true to the use of the stiff arm.
