Submitted by jhartgen@abi.org on

Former NFL quarterback Michael Vick paid back more than $17 million in debt, leading to a judge to close his bankruptcy case, BleacherReport.com reported. Vick filed for chapter 11 in 2008 when he was out of the league and down endorsement deals after being sentenced to prison for his involvement in a dogfighting scandal and "owed approximately $17.6 million to dozens of creditors." Vick, who played 13 seasons for the Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles, New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers, made his last payment in November.
