Vick was the second fullback selected in the first round of the 1987 NFL draft, after Alonzo Highsmith who was drafted third overall by the Houston Oilers.[2] The selection of Vick is a notable moment in draft history, primarily due to the audible outburst of despair made by a fan in attendance.

Pete Rozelle: "The New York Jets' first round selection, fullback-"
Unnamed fan: "OH NO!"
Rozelle: "Roger Vick, Texas A&M"

— NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle announcing Vick's selection in the 1987 draft[3]

Vick's best season came in 1988 when he rushed for 540 yards on 128 carries (4.2 YPC) and three touchdowns. He also had 19 catches for 120 yards that season.[4]
