Michael Vick Launches Official Website

Michael Vick Launches Official Website

Controversial NFL star to use personal blog to get across his message at www.michaelvickzone.com.

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) November 13, 2009 -- Michael Vick, quarterback for the NFL’s Philadelphia Eagles and three-time NFL Pro Bowl selection, goes live with his new website today at www.michaelvickzone.com, in conjunction with www.playerpress.com.

The site features a personal blog, videos, action photos, links to Michael’s appearances and charitable foundations, a social networking community for fans and much more.

“I’ve been through a lot the past couple years and it was really important to me that I reach back out to the people who have supported me through it all and also reach out to those fans who I may have disappointed,” Vick says. “This site is going to be a direct connection into my life on and off the field."

“Being away from the game for the past two seasons has really humbled me and I take my responsibility as a role model very serious.”

Since returning to the NFL after two years away, Vick, the first pick overall in the 2001 draft, has fit in well with the Eagles as a backup quarterback. He is known as perhaps the best running quarterback in the history of the NFL, a claim to fame he earned while leading the Atlanta Falcons for six years.

Vick’s website is one of many from professional athletes designed and managed by Player Press, LLC (www.playerpress.com), the fastest-growing destination for professional athlete blogs on the Web.

"We were delighted with the opportunity to work with Michael in helping him effectively communicate his message through his website and social media,” John Hernandez, CEO of Player Press, said. "Now fans will be able to hear directly from Michael in his own words."

The New York City-based company lists close to 50 websites for professional athletes, with a clientele that includes Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis, Dallas Cowboys running back Marion Barber, Houston Texans first-round draft pick Brian Cushing, Carolina Panthers All-Pro linebacker Jon Beason and Detroit Lions running back Kevin Smith, as well as San Jose Sharks defenseman Dan Boyle from the NHL and Utah Jazz first-round pick Eric Maynor from the NBA, among others.
