Michael Vick Says He Will Stay Retired, Won’t Play in Fan Controlled Football

Michael Vick will stay in retirement after all.

Earlier in the week, a report from Reuters indicated that former No. 1 draft pick would play in the Fan Controlled Football (FCF) league, making his first appearance in an organized football game since 2015. However, the 41-year-old dismissed the notion on social media Sunday, saying that he will not unretire and instead remain on the sidelines.

"I hung 'em up in 2015 never to return again," Vick tweeted Sunday. “Had an amazing time and accomplished so much. I say that to say, they’re going to stay hung up and I will not be coming out of retirement.
