Bears quarterback Justin Fields breaks a tackle on his 55-yard touchdown run against the Packers on Sunday.When he played, no one regularly clocked Michael Vick’s speed using GPS, the way quarterbacks are measured today. Maybe that’s a good thing, Vick joked.
“I was quicker than I was fast,” Vick, a Fox Sports analyst, said this week.
He’s being humble. The all-time rushing leader among quarterbacks also held the NFL’s single-game, regular-season record — until Bears quarterback Justin Fields ran for 178 yards on Nov. 6 against the Dolphins.
