Michael Vick has been hired by Fox Sports as a studio analyst. 

Vick will appear on FOX NFL Kickoff, which airs before Fox NFL Sunday.

Vick will also make regular appearances on FS1 studio shows as part of his new job. 

"I'm very excited," Vick told USA TODAY Sports in a phone interview on Friday. "Over the last seven or eight months, I've done a lot of interviews, and I think I've gotten better as I've been put in those situations more often. Things really came together (with Fox) over the last couple months. They have shows that I have always watched and admired. My friends and family are thankful and proud of me."
