All due respect to Cam Newton, even after a decade, Michael Vick’s still probably the single most exciting player in the NFL when he’s healthy. But that last part has always been the problem, hasn’t it? The handful of games where he’s 100 percent are always spectacular, but even the most shameless Vick groupies (read: me) have to admit it--the guy LIVES on the injured list.
Michael Vick Guaranteed To Be Healthy This Year, Says Crazy Person
He’s not always missing games but he’s always banged up with one nagging injury or another. He’s the fantasy player who has the little red Q next to his name for 14 weeks of every season. It’s just tradition at this point. But maybe this year it’s all over!
The maker of Michael Vick’s protective gear is ready to put Philadelphia Eagles fans at ease. “I guarantee he will not get hurt,” Rob Vito, CEO of Unequal Technologies, told ESPN.com on Wednesday.

Unequal Technologies, a 3-year-old, Pennsylvania-based company, uses what Vito says is a military grade, battle-tested composite material that has Dupont Kevlar to protect athletes from on-field injuries.
“What Michael is wearing was born on the battlefield and forged on the gridiron,” Vito said.
So he’s wearing military body armor, basically? That’s badass. No more rib injuries!
Now Eagles fans just have to worry about hamstring, ankle, foot, head, hand, and rotator cuff injuries, and also the delusional CEO who totally jinxed their quarterback’s health for 2012 while he was promoting his “battlefield” flak jacket. Should be another fun year in Philly!
