New Orleans Saints' 26-24 win over the
Philadelphia Eagles from Wild Card Weekend on Tuesday, Jan. 7 at 4:30 p.m. ET.
"My desire is to start," Vick said, via Philadelphia Magazine. "I'm 33, I still feel good, and the way I've been able to take care of my body this year, the things that I've learned from, the nutrition aspect of everything, really has given me another jump-start. I feel good, I still know I can play and I'm just confident in what I can do based on what I do every day.
"I feel like I'm built to do this, and just want to continue to keep it going," Vick added. "I'm not finished."
Vick believes he still can be the same player when he's 38 or 39 years old.
On the off chance that Vick isn't offered an opportunity to compete for a starting job, Kelly will welcome him back to Philly with open arms.
"I love Michael Vick," Kelly said Monday. "That guy is awesome."
