Since retiring from the NFL in 2017, Vick has shifted his focus to family and a budding coaching career, including a stint at Sacramento State. Now, he’s ready to lead Norfolk State, continuing to inspire both on and off the field.
Despite the controversies that once overshadowed his career, including a prison sentence for dog fighting during his NFL prime, Vick remains a source of inspiration for many.
