Commissioner says the disgraced Atlanta Falcons quarterback could help bring widespread exposure to the league, which is planning to start this fall.
Seeking headlines during this downtime in July before NFL training camps begin, the rumored-to-start-this-fall United Football League says it would welcome Michael Vick this season.
"One of the things that is important in our premiere season is to showcase the quality of talent and the coaches, and to be able to show outstanding players who find themselves in this quagmire the NFL creates," UFL Commissioner Michael Huyghue said. "Michael Vick might be that kind of player because he is . . . a phenomenal talent, but he needs transitioning back into the NFL."
