Less than two years after he was released from prison, Michael Vick’s reputation has recovered to such a great extent that he might just be the most popular player in the NFL.
The league revealed today that Vick has 729,838 fan votes for the Pro Bowl, which puts him in first place among all players in the entire league.
Vick has surged ahead of Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, who was in first place among all players but has now fallen into second, 38,692 votes behind Vick.
The NFL selects Pro Bowl rosters through a combination of voting from fans, players and coaches. Pro Bowlers will be announced later this month.
