Even though the New York Jets told Michael Vick that their starting quarterback job was Geno Smith's job to lose, they were privately disappointed he didn't show up "hell-bent" on winning it.

Vick came to grips with the expectation of being Smith's backup and determined to support him.

"The last five years I spent in Philly, I had some great years and played in some great games and went through a lot," Vick explained. "Now it's an opportunity for me to refresh myself and take a step back away from the game."
