Michael Vick says that he is still good enough to be a starting quarterback in the NFL.

Michael Vick has said that he will be looking to return to a starting lineup in the NFL next season.

The Philadelphia Eagles has missed several games after sustaining a concussion, resulting in Nick Foles taking over as starter.

The 32-year-old told Eagles' podcast Birds 24/7: "I'm not a backup. Just being honest, just being candid. I'm a full-fledged starter. That's what I've got in me, that's what I provide, that's what I offer.

"Whatever happens, wherever I end up, they're going to get 110%. You're going to get the same thing out of me that you got the last two, three years, and that's 110% effort and a guy that's confident in his abilities to play and win.

"I want to start. Yeah, I'm a starter. I'll feel that way until I start to feel like I'm becoming a problem on the team."

Vick is expected to be released by the Eagles at the end of the season.
