But there’s more to the story, which PFT obtained from a league source with knowledge of the situation. Per PFT's Mike Florio, McCoy had been riding Vick for weeks, calling him “old man” and challenging Vick to a footrace. Vick had been laughing it off, until today. Today, Vick had enough. So he asked coach Chip Kelly if he could accept McCoy’s invitation. Kelly agreed. So they lined up and took off, and Vick didn’t just beat McCoy. Vick smoked McCoy by roughly five yards, and their teammates went nuts. As Florio suggested, "it has no direct relevance to the fate of the 2013 Eagles, but it proves that the 'old man' can still move, which is bad news for any defense facing him this year. ..." Hard to argue the point, assuming Vick is healthy and starting.
