Michael Vick extended a scholarship offer to Donovan McNabb Jr. to play at Norfolk State, reigniting a connection between the two NFL stars. McNabb Jr., surprised yet honored, expressed the significance of the offer given his father’s history with Vick as a teammate. With other offers on the table, including major programs, he acknowledged the appeal of joining an HBCU under a renowned NFL figure, signaling a meaningful moment in the legacy of these football icons.
My dad told me that Michael Vick was about to call me. I didn't really believe it at first, but then when he did, I was kind of in shock.
It was cool to talk to him and get the offer. That was big for me, just knowing that he played with my dad.
Very. It would be a big step.
Vick took over and threw for 9,898 yards and 56 touchdowns over the next four years with the Eagles.
