Tailback Warrick Dunn, one of four Falcons veterans who either volunteered or were asked to speak on the team's behalf Tuesday — a day after quarterback Michael Vick said he would plead guilty on dogfighting charges — referred to Vick as an "ex-teammate."
Though Dunn might have been stating the obvious about Vick, who is scheduled to enter his guilty plea in a federal courtroom in Richmond Monday, it was the first public remark showing that ties are being broken.
"To me ... he needs to worry about his life," said Dunn, who keeps in regular contact with Vick. "As an ex-teammate, right now he definitely wants the guys on this football team to move on and move forward. You can't stay in a certain place. He expects us to go out and play hard. Do we wish he was here? Of course but he circumstances say otherwise."
