Retired NFL quarterback and former Falcon Michael Vick tweeted his thoughts on the MLB All-Star game.

In his tweet, Vick reminded followers that the Colorado Rockies drafted the NFL star back in the 2000 MLB Draft during the 30th round. He also showed his support of a former Yellow Jacket in outfielder Charlie Blackmon.

Vick was chosen first overall in the 2001 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons held a retirement ceremony for Vick and Roddy White in June.
