The Pittsburgh Steelers signed quarterback Michael Vick to a one-year contract on Tuesday to replace the injured Bruce Gradkowski.
He'll back up Ben Roethlisberger after Gradkowski was sent to injured reserve. Now 35, Vick's transformational athleticism is long gone, and with it, his ability to be anything more than a mediocre backup.
Vick completed just 52.9 percent of his 121 attempts for the Jets last season, and has a mere 10 total touchdowns over his past 17 appearances. The Steelers will hope he doesn't have to make starts behind the mostly-durable Roethlisberger.
