Vick Whoops McCoy In 40-Yard Dash
The 32-year-old quarterback took the 24-year-old running back to school.
Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy added some spirited competition to the Eagles’ workout today, facing off in a 40-yard dash. And there was no question about who crossed the finish line first.
So today at the field 1 of my teammates called me old & bagged to race me in the 40yd dash. Anybody want to guess which player? #BirdGang

According to Pro Football Talk, McCoy had been riding Vick for weeks, calling him an old man. Vick asked Chip Kelly if they could settle things on the field, and the head coach obliged.
McCoy, however, seemed to take issue with the result:
Cheated he cheats RT @nfl: @mikevick please tell us someone was recording.
