Wow.

Will anyone take a chance on this guy?

I thought that ATL would drop a late pick on him if he was around.

SOMEBODY will sign him as a free agent and make him a RB or WR. He has no skills at QB and wouldnt do good in any system that an NFL team runs.


Or, he could go to Canada.

Problem with Atlanta taking him would have been when he goes to camp and sucks they would have had to cut him, which would piss off Michael, or waste a roster spot or cap space hiding him on IR.
When in doubt on a team who might take a chance on a wayward soul, just think Al Davis.
As for where he could play, if he can commit a crime in the same jurisdiction, Marcus Vick/Maurice Clarett would make a fine backfield for a fortunate penitentiary.

As much as I hate UGA, Atlanta was much, much, MUCH better off taking DJ Shockley as opposed to Marcus Vick. Far better attitude, and could actually make it as a backup quarterback in the league.

Funny thing is, he does have some skills at QB, certainly better natural passing ability than big brother, but doesn't possess the same explosiveness. No one will pick him up, at least, not at first.

Usually by now , the undrafted free agents have been picke doff and signed with teams, especially the better ones. During the later parts of the draft, calls go out to players who may not be drafted by teams telling them they will sign them as a FA once the draft ends. But so far, not one mention of Vick. I have a feeling he will have to go North and prove himself for a year or two before someone is going to give him a fair chance.

Looks like the Dolphins (sports.espn.go.com) will at least take a look at him.

Hee, it would be such wonderfully delicious karma if Vick got himself booted from Virginia Tech, saying, "It's OK baby, I'll just go on to the next level", didn't get drafted and then didn't even catch on with any NFL team as a free agent.

Because let's be honest, he's done some pretty bad things. And the thought of him making it in the NFL and making millions of dollars is kinda sickening. I know, there have been worse people who've made more money, but... is it wrong to ask for someone to get their just desserts this once?

Wouldn't it be hi-larious if he was invited to minicamp but only allowed to watch? Maybe a little "see, if you weren't such a jackass in college, this is what you might have been able to do?" Sweet, sweet schadenfreude...
