Marcus Deon Vick (born March 20, 1984)〔 is a former American football player who briefly appeared in one game for the Miami Dolphins in 2006. He is the younger brother of the Pittsburgh Steelers NFL quarterback Michael Vick, who also began playing high school football in Newport News Public Schools. After accepting a football scholarship to attend Virginia Tech, Marcus played quarterback for the team. However, he was suspended for the entire 2004 season due to many criminal convictions.〔(Marcus Vick charged with DUI after chase in Norfolk – News ). inRich.com (2011-09-15). Retrieved on 2011-09-20.〕 After a conditional reinstatement, he started every game in the 2005 season, but was involved in several highly publicized incidents during the season, including the display of his middle finger to the crowd and stomping on the leg of Louisville's Elvis Dumervil, as well as having additional traffic arrests. In early 2006, he was dismissed from the Virginia Tech football program "due to a cumulative effect of legal infractions and unsportsmanlike play". Vick then declared himself eligible for the NFL spring draft in 2006, but was not selected. He was later signed by the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent but was released from the team on May 1, 2007. His legal troubles continued after leaving Virginia Tech, and have included a charge of brandishing a firearm against a group of people, a civil lawsuit involving a juvenile girl who claimed that she was 15 years old (below the legal age of consent in Virginia) when forced into a sexual situation with Vick, who was 20 years old,〔 and additional traffic incidents and arrests in January 2007, February 2008, and June 2008 in the Hampton Roads area. After the June incident in Norfolk, he was convicted of DUI, misdemeanor eluding police, and driving on the wrong side of the road, and on October 20, 2008, received a 12-month suspended jail sentence and $530 in fines, and his privilege to operate motor vehicles in Virginia was suspended for a year.〔Washington, Michelle.

The tweets have since been deleted. He was arrested in Georgia on December 30, 2013 on charges of driving under the influence of drugs, driving without a license and driving with an expired registration, according to a Forsyth County, Georgia Sheriff’s report.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ajc.com/news/sports/marcus-vick-arrested-in-forsyth-county/ncYR3/ )〕 ==Early years== Marcus Deon Vick was born to Brenda Vick and Michael Boddie on March 20, 1984, in Newport News, Virginia. His parents married about a year later, by which time they had four children, Christina (Marcus's older sister), Michael (Marcus's older brother), Courtney Vick, and Marcus. After their parents wed, the children elected to continue to use their mother's name as their surname. Vick grew up in Ridley Circle, a public housing project in the crime-ridden East End neighborhood of Newport News. During his younger years, his father, Michael Boddie, had a job which required a lot of travel. Their mother, Brenda, worked relatively low wage service jobs that included driving a school bus as well as a position at K-Mart. Vick attended Warwick High School. At Warwick High School, he was coached by Tommy Reamon, a former collegiate and professional football player who had been instrumental in the development of future NFL quarterbacks Aaron Brooks (his older cousin) and Marcus' brother, Michael. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marcus Vick」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
