Last month we learned that Michael Vick would be the one to change his jersey number (Geno Smith has #7). Well he’s finally chosen a new number & there’s a meaning behind it. Check it out…
Via TMZ:
Mike Vick has finally selected his new jersey number — #8 — and sources connected to the NY Jets quarterback tell TMZ Sports it’s all because of Steve Young.
Vick posted on his Instagram this morning — saying, “I want to see everybody in there MV8 jerseys this year. I appreciate all the fans that helped. Fresh start..new me! #JetsNation #GangGreen #V8.”
Our sources tell us … Young was a HUGE factor in the number selection because Vick has always looked up to Steve … “He’s one of Mike’s favorite players of all time. Also, he’s a lefty, too.”
