TAMPA, Fla. (AP)—Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick(notes) will be
active this fall, whether there is football or not.
He was joined on Saturday by former NFL coach Tony Dungy and 35 volunteers
from Tampa-area Abe Brown Ministries in visiting about 1,000 inmates at a prison
in Avon Park, Fla.
Vick says it was his first visit to a correctional facility since he served
a 23-month sentence in federal prison for bankrolling a dogfighting ring.
He is optimistic that there will be football next season. But even if there
isn’t, Vick plans to continue to follow his Christian faith and give back to
communities by visiting prisons with Dungy and on his own.
