Michael Vick - Chiefs QB Coaching Intern

Mike Vick working as coaching intern with Chiefs

In June, Mike Vick said he wanted to one day coach in the NFL. Now one of his former coaches is providing him a baby step toward that goal.

Vick is spending training camp as an intern with Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs.

Vick spent four seasons with Reid and the Philadelphia Eagles, from 2009-2012, after the quarterback was released from prison following his role in running a dog-fighting ring.

One of the most gifted athletes in NFL history, Vick said in June he believes he could bring a different perspective to coaching.

"I think my heart is really into teaching, you know, the game of football," Vick told ESPN's Adam Schefter at the time. "I feel like I've learned so much from so many great coaches over the years. You know, I don't want to bottle up a lot of knowledge, and [I] really can't relay the messages that I want to relay to a high school kid because ... you don't have to dumb it down, but you can't be as complex. And I get that.

"So [at the] collegiate level or professional level, you can express ideas. You can go into detail. You know you can coach hard, and that's what I want to do."

Andy Reid traded a boatload of picks to aggressively go after a first round qb. He's not going to sabotage it by letting vick coach do any damage that can't be uncoached. He's only there for a few weeks. If he learns a few tricks, which I think he will, then it's time well spent.

Trading next year's 1st and a current third, when the team had two third round selections, is not "a boatload".

This is the type of job given to get someone's foot into the door of coaching.

It's not a big deal, and it's not about mahomes.

If you want to complain about the dog stuff, okay. Go ahead.

Just stop acting like this really affects Kermit the QB's development.

Breaking down film, making reads, working in the pocket. the things that Mahomes needs to work on are all things that Vick only has a remedial understanding.

It's not about Mahomes.

It's about Reid getting Vick's foot into the coaching door.

Some short term charity hire is not going to harm our QB's development.

Did the crime, die the time. Society has been paid.

My God you have an obsession for getting worked up about the pettiest shit. My point is that he's a prize pick and he will make sure he is developed properly.

Not saying it will hurt his development.

Simply saying that it won't help.
