Though Vick lost out on arguably two of his prime playing years while serving his prison sentence, he was quickly reinstated in the NFL in 2009 and enjoyed a phenomenal comeback season. That would be the zenith, though, as Vick never again quite put up the same kind of numbers. In total, Vick played eight more seasons in the league after his time in prison, playing for the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers, and finally the Atlanta Falcons.

Vick retired in 2017, the same year he paid back nearly the entire amount he owed previous creditors — a whopping $17.4 million of the $17.6 million he owed. According to ESPN, Vick was quoted as explaining, "I didn't want to stiff people who never stiffed me." Vick's financial responsibility was laudable enough, but unlikely to move anyone who can't forget the abuse the dogs under his care suffered.

These days, Vick is comfortable enough, says Distractify; he's serving as an on-air football analyst with Fox and reportedly has a net worth of $16 million.
