Michael Vick told Roddy White he was destined for NFL stardom

Roddy White couldn't recall the exact day, but the former Atlanta Falcons wide receiver remembered it was at OTAs during his rookie season.

White, then the 27th overall pick in the 2005 NFL draft, was approached by quarterback Michael Vick, the first overall pick in 2001.

"He told me I was going to be a star in this league," White said of Vick. "He always believed in me from Day 1, from the time he met me and when we were going through OTA practices. Since that day, we always connected. We always had a bond.
