Former quarterback Michael Vick has been hired as a sports analyst for Fox Sports, just months after saying free agent quarterback Colin Kaepernick should “cut his hair.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fox Sports will announce Vick’s new position on Sunday, as the four-time Pro Bowl QB will serve as a studio analyst for FOX NFL Kickoff.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I’m very excited,” Vick told USA TODAY Sports. “Over the last seven or eight months, I’ve done a lot of interviews, and I think I’ve gotten better as I’ve been put in those situations more often. Things really came together (with Fox) over the last couple months. They have shows that I have always watched and admired. My friends and family are thankful and proud of me.”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Fox Sports president of production and executive producer, John Entz, expressed the company’s excitement in bringing Vick on.
“He was obviously an outstanding player, but we feel he has an incredibly bright future as an analyst,” Entz said. “He has stayed close to the game and has many relationships with today’s current coaches and players. We feel he can bring a truly unique perspective that intrigues and engages our viewers.”
