Report: Mike Vick To Join Professional Flag Football League
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Michael Vick isn't ready to give up on football.
According to CBSSports.com, the ex-Eagles quarterback is expected to play in an exhibition game on June 27th for the American Flag Football League. The American Flag Football League, developed by Jeff Lewis, plans to launch an eight team league in 2018.
"We think what will make this successful is urgency, affinity and quality," Lewis said via ESPN.com. "This is why shows like 'American Idol' and 'American Ninja Warriors' have been popular. We think the game and how we've set it up will give us this."
