“The fear is that [Vick] is so explosive, and that he makes so many plays, and that he’s so willing to throw his body around that one of these days he’s not going to get back up,” said Chris Draft, a linebacker for the Carolina Panthers, the Falcons’ foe on Sunday in Charlotte to open the regular season. This is the same Draft who played with the Falcons from 2000 through 2004, and who still lives in Atlanta, where he remains highly civic minded, primarily when it comes to working with the American Lung Association regarding fellow asthma sufferers. Draft confessed this week that he always thought Vick was on the verge of becoming a victim of his style. He said he cringed on the Falcons sideline with everybody else during Vick’s flips, twists, zips, rolls, tumbles and dives.
