Vick Pleads Guilty to Dogfighting Charge

Michael Vick's fall from NFL stardom continued on Tuesday, as the one-time Atlanta Falcons star QB pleaded guilty in Sussex, Virginia to a state dogfighting charge.

With the plea, Vick may be eligible to exit prison early and return to the NFL.

Vick, 28, also pleaded not guilty to a count of cruelty to animals, but that charge was dropped under his plea deal.

The former Virginia Tech star received a three-year suspended sentence — far less than the maximum of 10 years he might have faced.
