The younger brother of Atlanta Falcon's Michael Vick, Marcus learned that no team was willing to take him in the 2006 NFL Draft. Marcus' past probably worried every team in the NFL. Unlike his older brother, Marcus Vick appears to be headed to the list of "overhyped college football hall of fame."

Why did former Virginia Tech quarterback Marcus Vick declare himself eligible for the NFL Draft? Marcus could not return to Virginia Tech, because he was kicked out of the university. He did not always do the right thing. Besides, he had to be a problem child for them to put him out; especially when you consider, Marcus Vick's older brother has given Virginia Tech at least a million dollars.

Honestly, I had forgotten Marcus was available to be drafted. I guess so did all of the NFL teams. Three years ago, I would have never believed this would have been his draft fate. Marcus Vick was supposed to be better than Michael Vick! Marcus never lived up to his last name "Vick." Oh well, maybe the younger Vick can find success in Canada or something?
