Michael Vick was really the man to put running quarterbacks on the map in the 21st century was awful in his first start, which came in the eighth game of the Atlanta Falcons’ 2001 season.

Vick completed just 4-of-12 passes for 33 yards and only netted 4 yards on two carries. While hardly memorable, life in the NFL got drastically better for the Virginia Tech product.

Vick’s playing career will always draw “What if?” questions because he missed two prime seasons for running the dog-fighting ring, but even then, there’s one thing you can’t take away for Vick. He’s currently scrambled for 6,010 yards, which is the most by any quarterback in the history of the game.
