"The Human Joystick" — A Revolutionary Talent

Michael Vick transformed the quarterback position and became one of the most electrifying players the NFL has ever seen. The "Human Joystick" inscription captures exactly what made Vick must-see television: an unprecedented combination of breakaway speed, lateral elusiveness, and a powerful left arm that allowed him to beat defenses in ways no quarterback before him could. Selected first overall in the 2001 NFL Draft out of Virginia Tech — the first African-American quarterback ever taken with the top pick — Vick became the Falcons' full-time starter in 2002 and immediately announced himself as a phenomenon. He led Atlanta to an upset of the heavily favored Green Bay Packers in the 2002 playoffs, handing the Packers their first-ever home playoff loss at Lambeau Field, and guided the Falcons to a division title and an NFC Championship Game appearance following the 2004 season. His improvisational genius made him one of the defining and most popular players of his era.

The NFL's Record-Setting Dual-Threat Quarterback

Vick's rushing accomplishments rewrote the record book for the quarterback position. In 2006, he became the first quarterback in NFL history to rush for over 1,000 yards in a single season (1,039), setting a single-season record for rushing yards per carry by a quarterback at 8.4 — and he and teammate Warrick Dunn became the first quarterback-running back duo to each surpass 1,000 rushing yards in the same season. He set the then-NFL single-game record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 173 against the Minnesota Vikings in 2002, and an NFL postseason record with 119 rushing yards in a playoff game. When he retired, Vick held the NFL's all-time record for career rushing yards by a quarterback (6,109). After a four-year hiatus, Vick returned to the league with the Philadelphia Eagles and authored one of the great comeback stories in NFL history — setting career highs with 3,018 passing yards and 21 touchdowns in 2010, earning a Pro Bowl selection and the 2010 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award. He finished his 13-year career with 22,464 passing yards, 133 passing touchdowns, and 6,109 rushing yards, and his influence is visible in the modern dual-threat quarterbacks who followed him.
