I wish I could find a really high quality video of this.
It varies. Anytime after 18.

The BC run is the one that stands out to me, too.
took me a second to embed it.
This one shows MV is just not human...these are professional DBs and he is so fast he just splits them.
Do they go on mission out of HS? I thought they played 1-2 years, went on mission, then returned to finish eligibility- giving them numerous 24-25 yr old seniors
That BC run (about 0:40) was the one I remember being faster than anyone on the planet. The Temple one was probably better...but, Temple.
The run against the Vikings showed he was just not human (see below).
Well that's interesting for sure.
I have said before that Vick was as fast as he had to be and no amount of timing or testing could accurately judge his speed when he was being grabbed at or chased. Phenomenal athlete, we saw his speed in the spring game before his first year playing and were astounded. I've never seen anything like him, then or since.
even looks fast in slow motion
I wish there was a video of this.
I always brag that I was at Tech for the Mike Vick years. I put this video on and my 3 boys run around the house pretending to be Michael Vick.

I don't even want to know
By this logic I guess the absence of the White Face Mask helmet is a good sign. I love that helmet. Would be cool to use that again next season.
I may be getting my facts messed up, but wasn't Andre Davis considered a touch faster than Michael?
SET THE TONE!

# | GIFTORY: Frame-by-Frame Highlight Reel of Virginia Tech's 60-57 win over Clemson He drank it too fast and then he sat there thinking, "Crap, now my throat and my head hurts and this kid won't stop blubbering over not being on the jumbotron. Time to space out."
As a pilot, I can attest to the roar of jet engines. That was a great build up to the final 'fly by'.
This deserves to be posted.
Even after all these years, I still feel nervous watching the replay.
I swear he covered 25 yards in 4 steps on that fake.
MV7 just made defenses ok dumb. I mean he changed the game. It was insane watching him on the field.
The ability to make people miss at full speed is what made Vick such a sensational player.
This moment was the only time I've claimed clairvoyance. It was deflating when GT scored the TD right before this, but I said quietly to my friend next to me, "he's taking this back." Somehow, there was no doubt in my mind. It wasn't "I hope" or "I want him to return it," it was definite. The explosion of that stadium afterwards was unforgettable - almost as loud as the Miami game the following year.
Vick was fast, yes, but I think the big difference between him and most everyone else that played that game was that his straight line speed was just about the same as his shake-and-bake speed. I'm sure we can look up who had the fastest 40 ever at the combine, and it wasn't him.
But on the field, the only player I can remember that looked to be operating in a different reality than everyone else was Vick. I've heard people say Reggie Bush was similar to see in person. Everyone else on the field was in slow-motion, mere spectators as he sprinted past them.
Most people slow down when they change direction, but Vick seemed to just glide from place to place, as if he already had in his mind a map of the entire field, and knew exactly how he'd have to move in every moment to wind his way down the field. The guy in front of him was already beat. He was always focusing on making the second or third guy miss. Fun stuff to watch back in the day.
