For years, Michael Vick wreaked havoc in the National Football League.
He was one of the most electrifying players ever, a one-man show that brought hope to the Atlanta Falcons.
Vick has inspired countless dual-threat signal-callers, perhaps one of the guys who laid the blueprint for the modern quarterback.
Now, he’s looking to make that kind of impact from the sidelines.
The legendary quarterback has agreed to become the head coach for the Norfolk State Spartans and he showed off his new threads.

Needless to say, they’re not particularly the biggest name in the college football scene, but they’re going to gauge plenty of attention now.
Hopefully, Vick will have a similar impact on the team as Deion Sanders did when he took over at Jackson State University.
Although Vick has no coaching experience, he can inspire young players to strive for greatness.
He knows what it takes to make it and succeed in the league.
And while he made some major mistakes that derailed his career, he can also be an inspiration to help those young men not incur the same miscues he did in his career.
Even if the team doesn’t fare well right away, it will have plenty of new eyes on it, which will most likely translate into a big influx of money that will ultimately help the program.
