Over the course of his career, the 35-year-old Vick has played in 138 games and completed 1,767 out of 3,151 passes for a total of 22,093 yards. He has also been selected to the Pro Bowl four times and received the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award in 2010. With the Steelers, Vick will serve as a backup for starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
