Michael Vick spoke with school children in Philadelphia on Tuesday, warning them against the dangers of peer pressure. Vick, who was recently signed by the Eagles, served prison time for running a dogfighting ring. He addressed 200 freshmen at Nueva Esperanza Academy, a North Philadelphia charter school. "I didn't choose to go the right way, which led to 18 months in prison, which was the toughest time of my life," Vick said, according to the Associated Press. "Being away from my family, being away from my kids who I adore dearly, and being away from the game of football, doing something so foolish, and I wish I could take it all back. "I was influenced by so many people when I should have been a leader, not a follower."
