14 Biggest NFL Scandals of All Time

6. Dog Fighting Ring

Michael Vick was involved in a dog fighting ring which was conducted on his Virginia property and lasted for no less than 5 years. Vick himself was a 6-year veteran at the time, and one of the best quarterbacks in the league. After pleading guilty for his inhumane activities and cruel treatment of animals, he served 21 months in prison, was released by the Falcons, and lost all of his income. He could have had a Hall of Fame career – no doubt about it. Still, Vick has made a remarkable comeback with the Eagles and was even named the 2010 NFL Comeback Player of the Year. Scrambling quarterback is currently by far the best rushing quarterback in NFL’s history with more than 6,000 yards which means that he has at least managed to salvage some of his career.
