Former Pittsburgh Steelers QB to play in the documentary series

A former quarterback from Pittsburgh Steelers is presented in a new documentary series when he begins his career as head coach.

This week Bet Media announced that Michael Vick would be at the head of the Swac Entertainment-Produced Show. It will concentrate on the fact that he officially takes over the Norfolk State Football program, an HBCU in his home state Virginia.

“We are enthusiastic about greeting Michael Vick again. Michael brought his first series into our network, and now we are proud to join him again -this is time with our partners at SMAC -to tell a mighty new chapter in his story,” said Tiffany Lea Williams, Executive Vice President for unwinded programming and development for Bet media group. “From the NFL legend to the HBCU trainer, Mike’s evolution is effective, powerful and inspiring. Bet has always been a home for stories that celebrate growth, resilience and black excellence -and Mike’s return embodies all of this.

Vick was hired by the program in December. His only earlier coaching experience was a intern at Kansas City Chiefs during the training camp in 2017 and served as a consultant for the Atlanta Legends of the Alliance of American Football in 2018.

Norfolk State has won nine games in its last three seasons and has not reached the FCS playoffs since 2011.

Vick commissioned the former Steelers linacker Terence Garvin as his defense coordinator, who previously played the same role at Florida Memorial University.

As a player, Vick made four trips to the Pro Bowl and was best known for his time as a member of the Atlanta Falcons, who selected him in the NFL design of 2001 in Virginia Tech No. 1.

In 2007 he was suspended by the league indefinitely because of his role in a dog struggle ring, which also ended up in prison for 21 months.

After returning in 2009 and playing for the Philadelphia Eagles (2009-2013) and New York Jets (2014), Vick signed at the Steelers in August 2015.

In five games for Pittsburgh this season, which was his last action in the league, he threw 371 yards, two touchdowns and one intercept.
