""I never thought I'd look across the field and watch him coach," Vick said. "I know vice versa for him. It was just a really cool moment, a surreal moment. You just never know what life is going to put in front of you.""
""I'm just proud of, man, both of us," Jackson said. "We're in a position where we're inspiring, changing young men's lives at HBCUs. Man, it don't get no better than that.""
Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson reunited at the NFL stadium where they once played, this time as head coaches at historically Black colleges. DeSean Jackson's Delaware State Hornets defeated Michael Vick's Norfolk State 27-20, highlighted by Amir Anderson's blocked punt returned for a score, Kaiden Bennett's 24-yard touchdown to Tahmir Ellis, and a 76-yard scoring run by James Jones. Jackson was carried off the field by his players in celebration. Both coaches have helped raise the profile of HBCU programs and focus on inspiring and changing young men's lives at those institutions.
