Michael Vick has been invited to strip down for Playgirl, according to an article at IMDB. Life & Style reports that the magazine will make a $1 million donation to animal rights group PETA in exchange for the photos.
Vick served 19 months in prison for his involvement in a brutal dogfighting operation. Now he is back in the NFL, even winning the Ed Block Courage Award in December. A TV series about the controversial quarterback has been airing on BET. In the first episode, he revisited the scene of his gruesome crimes.
Vick has not yet responded to Playgirl's offer. If he accepts, he won't be the first NFL star to strip for animals. Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez stripped down with his wife as part of an anti-fur campaign last year.
