This is incredible news as most of us believed his career to be over for good. What's really interesting though are the reactions that are flooding in from NFL players by way of Twitter. Never before have we seen such a breaking sports story directly affect newly tweeting football players, and as such, we're getting instant, unfiltered reactions straight from the players themselves.
It's interesting note that the players' tweets are very favorable and could signal an opportunity for Vick's maligned image to experience a social media makeover. Of course, we see this as a prime opportunity for Michael Vick to take to our Editor-in-Chief's previous post on how social media can bring him back to his former glory with fans.
