Arkansas and former Falcons coach Bobby Petrino sent well wishes to Michael Vick during Wednesday's opening session of SEC Media Days.

Petrino was asked how different his career might have gone if Michael Vick had not been arrested [on charges related to ] dogfighting?

Petrino: “There’s all the ifs, ands and buts of the world. That’s not one you think about. I understand Michael just got out. I wish him well. I hope he gets the second chance he needs and does a great job.”
