HAMPTON, Va. - Michael Vick is out of prison and headed home, broke and reviled for running a vicious dogfighting ring, but hopeful for a second chance at his once-charmed life as a star NFL quarterback.
The suspended quarterback served 19 months in prison on the dogfighting conviction.
"Football is on the back-burner for now," said agent Joel Segal, who negotiated Vick's 10-year, $130 million contract with the Falcons.
Vick, who turns 29 in June, left the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kan., by car early Wednesday.
He will serve two months in home confinement in Hampton. He won't be released from federal custody until July 20.
HENRY IN CUSTODY: Former NFL player Travis Henry is in federal custody after violating conditions of his bond.
Tampa U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark Pizzo ruled that the former Frostproof High star violated bond conditions set by a Montana judge when he consumed alcohol.
