Vick’s time on the field was full of ups and downs from the moment he started playing for Virginia Tech Hokies after arriving in Blacksburg, Virginia. His extraordinary talent made him the No. 1 overall pick in the 2001 NFL Draft.
Vick was considered by many as one of the youngest players to show such skills on the field. However, he got involved in some crimes and legal troubles, which forced him to remain behind bars for some time.
Matt Hasselbeck
The world first came to know Hasselbeck in the late 1990s as the player who was Brett Favre's backup in Green Bay. He then moved on to the Seattle Seahawks, who acquired him before the start of the 2001 season.
He played in the starting position for them throughout the entire time of the decade and achieved three Pro Bowl selections. It was because of him that the Seattle Seahawks got into the Super Bowl XL in 2005.
His Brother Took Him Along
Hasselback announced his retirement in 2016 and moved on to work with his brother Tim, who is an analyst for ESPN.
He was successful in replacing the super-famous head coach Mike Ditka on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown Show and also appears on the broadcast of ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown.
Fly Like an Eagle
Afterward, Vick’s talent provided him with a second chance to be a part of the Philadelphia Eagles, and he went on to earn a Pro Bowl selection and Comeback Player of the Year award in 2010.
Eventually, under the Chip Kelly regime, he was benched and released by the Eagles. Vick retired in 2015 after playing for the last time in the NFL. He appeared on Fox Sports in 2017 for the FOX NFL Kickoff show.
Spergon Wynn
As the final quarterback in the 2000 draft before Tom Brady and as a sixth-round draft pick, Wynn was always going to be a long shot. The Browns took a gamble on him, but it didn’t work out the same way it did for the Pats. His pro career got off to a casual start, seeing action in seven games, including a single start... which was a forty-eight-to-zero loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ouch.
While at the Browns, Wynn completed twenty-two of fifty-four passes for a hundred and sixty-seven yards, no touchdowns, and one interception. He was sent to the European league to help develop his skills and then got back into the NFL. He was a third-string quarterback on the Minnesota Vikings behind Dante Culpepper and Todd Bouman for two seasons. The only touchdown of his career in the NFL came on December thirtieth against the Green Bay Packers.
