12/26/24 | Michael Vick discusses Ravens QB Lamar Jackson breaking his rushing record. When Michael Vick was a young boy growing up in the Ridley Circle housing project in the impoverished East End neighborhood of Newport News, Virginia, he spent endless hours playing what he called “hot ball.” “Playing football in the backyard, you'd throw the ball up in the air and you gotta dodge like 12 people,” the former NFL quarterback told The Baltimore Sun. “I got used to playing with no cleats and in tennis shoes and slides and learned to be balanced and time out where people are going.” It took Vick all the way to the top of the sport and made him a generational star. Along the way, he was selected to the Pro Bowl four times, became a video game icon and cultural phenom and set the NFL record for career rushing yards by a quarterback with 6,109.

A few carries later on their next series, he dashed into history, eclipsing Michael Vick's NFL record of 6,109 career rushing yards for a quarterback.
