Brady’s A Brown But …

… IT TOOK A LOT LONGER THAN EXPECTED TO MAKE HIM ONE

FITSNews - April 28, 2007 - Former Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn is officially a member of the Cleveland Browns, it just didn’t go down the way anybody expected. Instead of taking “Dreamboat” with the third overall pick of today’s NFL Draft, the Browns instead picked some fat guy from Wisconsin. Eventually they came to their senses and snagged Quinn with the 22nd pick, which they acquired in a draft day trade with the Dallas Cowboys.

Amazingly, Quinn was still around at that point after being passed up by several teams rumored to be in the market for quarterbacks.

What causes a player’s draft position to fall? We’re not sure exactly. We know in Sic Willie’s case back in 1994 (the first year he was eligible for the draft) it all started when he was born without any coordination or athletic ability.
