Roger Hamilton Vick (born August 11, 1964) is a former professional American football fullback in the National Football League (NFL) for the New York Jets and Philadelphia Eagles from 1987 to 1990. He played college football at Texas A&M University. He also played on the Orlando Thunder in the World League.
Vick was the second fullback selected in the first round of the 1987 NFL Draft, after Alonzo Highsmith who was drafted third overall by the Houston Oilers. The selection of Vick is a notable moment in draft history, primarily due to the audible outburst of despair made by a fan in attendance.
Vick's best season came in 1988 when he rushed for 540 yards on 128 carries (4.2 YPC) and three touchdowns. He also had 19 catches for 120 yards that season.
