Roger Goodell has taken notice of Michael Vick's transformation off the field as he has his resurgence on it. "There is a big message in what Michael is doing," Goodell told the Daily News on Thursday morning, "He's a superstar athlete who everyone thought had everything in the world. He fell from grace tragically by making some horrific mistakes, paid a significant price, worked his way back in and now he's being successful. It demonstrates to me to get to these young men earlier and work with them and make them understand their responsibility making decisions that will define them for a period of time." Goodell always expected Vick to become a relevant NFL quarterback again, but was concerned how he would handle his return from a personal standpoint. He said, "my main concerns were off the field. He's done terrific off the field. I'm proud of how he has responded. There are so many examples in our society of failure, people falling short. We need more success stories. I'm hoping Michael Vick will be a success story. People need to see that. People need to be inspired by that - a person made a tragic error and he's overcome it. "It's a good lesson," added Goodell. "There is not anybody out there who has not made mistakes.
