The Philadelphia Eagles are in the middle of a quarterback competition between Michael Vick and Nick Foles. For a veteran like Michael Vick to be in a quarterback competition it could be frustrtating, but not for Vick.

“I’m having fun playing football,” Vick told NFL.com’s Aditi Kinkhabwala. “I fell in love with the game again. I thank coach Kelly for getting me back to that point.”

Michael Vick didn’t perform that well under Andy Reid the last two seasons.

“Like I said, the last two years were tough. And you try to find yourself in the game of football. It’s a tough game, it’s gritty,” Vick said. “It can be great and glorified when everything is going well, but when it’s not you’ve still got to live in it and deal with it. And I think this year, within this offense, taught me how to prepare myself again, and how to gain that confidence. How to approach the game because it all starts with your belief and your faith. I know I can get it done, I know I’m one of the best in this league.”
