"I wanted to throw it out there," said shop owner Sean McCarthy. "I don't think that he should walk the desert for 40 years but should you still have that chance to be ben someone's hero and play in the NFL?"
The Steelers signed Vick to a one-year contract on Tuesday after placing backup quarterback Brad Gradkowski on injured reserve.
Vick practiced with the Steelers for the first time Wednesday afternoon.
