“I think I proved I could be consistent every day and be a leader on this team,” Vick said. “I’m going to take the same approach, the same mindset. I know how hard I worked over the last four months. It would be a shame if I let up. It would be selfish, to myself and my teammates."
We'll see how Vick truly performs once Week 1 of the regular season approaches, as the Eagles take on Robert Griffin III and the Washington Redskins. Many Eagles fans are hoping Vick can return to his 2010 form.
