With each team able to carry 90 players this time of year, the idea of not being one of the top 2,880 players in the league is tough for Michael Vick to accept.

And he admitted to his hometown newspaper that it’s hard realizing he might be out of the league.

“Sometimes, it takes certain things to wake you up and [last year] was certainly a wake-up call for me,” Vick told Ed Miller of the Virginian-Pilot.

For all the highlights and controversy he created early in his career, last year might be remembered for his admission that he wasn’t prepared to play against the Chargers, and things didn’t really get better from there.
