Armed with superstardom and a $100 million NFL contract, Michael Vick made it to the hallowed national stage, a place where many of his peers could only dream about. But his increasingly bad decisions led to his self-destruction and one of the most dramatic turnovers of public opinion in NFL history. It took just one search warrant for Michael Vick to go from one of the NFL’s most iconic players to its most vilified. And it wasn’t just secrets that police found buried on his 15-acre estate in rural Virginia.
