Michael Vick, former NFL quarterback, told USA Today Sports that he is excited to start his role as a NFL studio analyst for Fox Sports.

“Over the last seven or eight months, I’ve done a lot of interviews, and I think I’ve gotten better as I’ve been put in those situations more often. Things really came together [with Fox] over the last couple months. They have shows that I have always watched and admired. My friends and family are thankful and proud of me.”

Vick played for four teams in his 13 seasons with the NFL. He served a year and 6 months in prison for dogfighting in 2007 while playing for the Atlanta Falcons.
