Marcus Vick's done many dumb things in his life, but this takes the cake. He's had sex with a fifteen year old girl, served alcohol to minors, and wasbeen charged with possession of marijuana. All of this happened between February and August of 2004. It looked like his legal troubles were over, until now. Lately, his on the field problems include flipping over West Virginia fans and stepping on Dumervil's ankle. Even worse is that he has now been charged with speeding and driving on a suspended license. And now he thinks that somebody out there is going to waste a high draft pick on him.
If it hadn't been for his infamous incedent in the Gator Bowl and his incident with the police, perhaps Vick would be a high draft pick. After all, it appeared that he had straightened himself out. However, he has shown that he still has major character issues, and this has been brought out by both his on and off field behavior. What he really needs to do, is to transfer and keep himself out of trouble.
Marcus Vick could transfer to another Division I-A school if he hasn't been redshirted yet, spend a year on the bench, study hard, and stay out of trouble. Then his senior year (after a redshirt), he could come back and, on the right team, be a Heisman candidate and send his draft stock soaring. Or even if he went to a I-AA school, he could still help his draft stock if he played well and stayed out of trouble. Both of these options could at least raise his status to a first day pick. NFl
However, with legal (and sportmanlike) problems in his recent history, he would be lucky to go before the sixth round. He might not even get drafted. And if that's the case, he won't get a chance to prove himself on the college gridiron again, as the NCAA committee wouldn't allow him to. In which case, he's stuck working out to be a quarterback, and trying to stay out of trouble, to be nothing better than a second day pick.
