Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall said he and other players plan to visit quarterback Michael Vick in prison. Vick was sentenced to 23 months in federal custody after pleading guilty to federal charges related to dogfighting.
"Probably in the next week or so," Hall said. "I think a couple guys are going to go up there to Virginia, get a chance to go see him. We all talked about [doing it] when the season was over. The season is over. We'll try to formulate a plan to get up there to see him."
Tight end Alge Crumpler and other players said a few weeks before Vick was sentenced that they wanted to visit him at a holding facility, which Vick entered voluntarily. However, visiting rules were limited and they felt that, at the time, it would be better for Vick's family members to take advantage of the limited visiting time.
On the day of Vick's sentencing, Hall, Crumpler, Joe Horn, Chris Houston and Roddy White were fined by the NFL for uniform violations that had messages supporting Vick in a game. Hall said it would be tough to see Vick in prison.
"Probably harder for him to see us," he said. "It's probably going to be real tough for him. I know when I spoke to him before training camp started, being told he wasn't going to be able to come to training camp crushed him. He loved this team more than anything."
