“Michael Vick is playing out of his mind right now, and that’s a beautiful thing.”
—Eagles head coach Andy Reid

“You've got a guy who was a superstar in this league, playing like a superstar again—maybe one of the best quarterbacks in the league right now. He's in the playbook. He's making the kind of decisions out there where I know he's doing his homework and studying and learning this offense. He's playing great.”
—Reid

“He does run, but he's still the quarterback and you can't treat him like he's a running back there. That's not what the rules state.”
—Reid

“He understands that he made a huge mistake and the only way that you can right that wrong is by giving it back now and changing and helping others not make the same mistakes. That’s where he’s at mentally and he’s very humble about it. He’s seen the highs and he’s seen the lows, so he’s very humble about this whole thing.”
—Reid

“He’s Donovan McNabb PLUS.”
—Former teammate Ray Buchanan

“It’s like God put all these great elements together and gave them to Mike.”
—Former teammate Shawn Jefferson

“There has been no quarterback like him in the league before.”
—NFL executive Charley Casserly

“He’s very cool, laid-back, very humble. That’s what I like about him.”
—Former NFL QB Aaron Brooks

“He has the whole package wrapped up in one body, and it can be very scary if you’re on the outside looking in.”
—NFL veteran Corey Simon

“This man is one of the most unselfish teammates you'll ever see, because he truly doesn't care about his numbers. As long as I've known him, every time someone says he can't do something or sets up barriers, he leaps over them.”
—Former teammate Keion Carpenter

“He is unreal, maybe the fastest guy I’ve ever seen in a football stadium. If you’re not disciplined, this guy can do a lot of damage.”
—4-time Pro Bowler Aeneas Williams

“He’s not an ego guy. Sometimes your best player, if you took a poll of the team not many of them want to hang out with him, but everybody wants to hang out with Michael Vick.”
—Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer

“Now, it's time for him to continue working to get his life back in order. I've got every hope and belief that's what is going to take place, and that we will have a successful end to this story.”
—Beamer

“I'm just hoping that Michael can take that penalty and move forward and come back, recapture his career and his direction. And it can send a message to young people again, that I've made mistakes and will pay my penalty.”
—Former Colts head coach Tony Dungy

“We all grew up with Michael Vick on Madden. We're all about 25 or 26, so we would win at Madden with Vick.”
—Teammate Winston Justice

“A person should not pay for his sins forever ... This is what Eagles head Coach Andy Reid saw when he gave Vick a second chance.”
—Sportswriter Zack Burgess
