Michael Vick wrote a five-page letter to Judge Henry E. Hudson prior to Monday's sentencing hearing in Richmond, Va.
In it, Vick declared "I am not the bad person or beast I've been made out to be" and asked for leniency in a letter to the federal judge who sentenced him to 23 months in prison for a dogfighting conspiracy.
Vick's handwritten letter was one of several submitted on behalf of the suspended Falcons quarterback. The documents were unsealed by the court on Thursday.
Other supporters who wrote letters on Vick's behalf included Hank Aaron, Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin and former boxing champion George Foreman.
