Vick pleaded not guilty last week to participating in a dog fighting ring that allegedly executed underperforming pit bulls by hanging, electrocution or other brutal means.

One supporter, Dewanna McGruder, says, "I say give Michael a fair chance, they act like he's already been convicted."

Another, Clay Mitchell, says, "Why persecute the man, why act like he's convicted."

Vick is honoring the NFL's mandate to stay away from Atlanta's training camp while the investigation continues.
