Michael Vick Says This Is Bigger Than Wins And Losses

Family, Legacy, And The Real Pressure Behind The Scenes
According to executive producer FredAnthony Smith, SVP of Non-Scripted at SMAC Entertainment, the series also highlights Michael’s life beyond football, including his relationship with his wife, Kijafa Vick, who supports him as he coaches her alma mater’s rival.

Michael Strahan And Deion Sanders Are Also On Board
