MusclePharm, a Denver-based nutritional supplement company, has signed Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick to a three-year, $1.55 million endorsement deal. The deal follows Vick’s recent -re-signing with Nike. MusclePharm said that Vick would have a “prominent and active role in MusclePharm, including an interactive social media role.”
“I have four dogs and have been a dog lover for a long time, but with that said we also live in a country that allows for second chances. We truly believe Mike Vick has paid his time for his past mistakes and this is why we are excited to have him on board with the MusclePharm team,” MusclePharm CEO Brad Pyatt said in a statement. “For us to agree to this deal and have Mike come on board with MusclePharm, we had to be confident that he has rehabilitated himself and we are convinced that he has.”
Added Pyatt, “This is a tremendous opportunity for both MusclePharm and Mike, and we believe the potential is limitless. We are thrilled to be partnering with such a dynamic superstar in the NFL and this has the chance to be a game-changer for our company and the industry.”
