Life after football hits some NFL players harder than others.
Michael Vick, Steve Smith and Justin Forsett are adjusting to their post-NFL careers in different ways.
Vick, the dynamic four-time Pro Bowl quarterback who was honored with a retirement ceremony by the Atlanta Falcons last week, isn't hanging up the cleats just yet. He signed with the American Flag Football League as both a player and adviser for the 7-on-7 organization that debuts in 2018. He's planning to play in a demonstration game Tuesday at Avaya Stadium in San Jose, California.
"I think it's great being a retired NFL player (and having) another outlet, to have a chance to go play football and be competitive," Vick told The Associated Press.
