The legendary QB Michael Vick on the show ‘Speak for Yourself’ said, “First thing we got to get Colin to do is to cut his hair.” Vick commented while discussing Colin and what he should do to clean his image so he can return to the NFL.

The statement Vick made was not taken lightly by the audience and in return, he had to state an apology. Vick appeared on ‘The Dan Patrick Show’, and he said he shouldn’t have commented on Colin’s appearance and that his hair has nothing to do with the game. He also posted a tweet further stating his mistake.

On the show ‘Speak for Yourself’, he also said that Colin not getting to play in the league is not because of the gesture he did in 2016. It is simply because his performance was not up to the mark. Vick also said that he respects and appreciates what he did. But those actions have nothing to do with him not being selected.
