Brady Quinn (Notre Dame)
Brady Quinn was everything you look for in a young quarterback: a strong arm, a charismatic leader, and a million dollar smile. During his time in South Bend, Quinn won just about every award you can win as a college quarterback. And in his final two seasons with the Irish — he threw 69 touchdowns and only 14 interceptions.
With jaw-dropping numbers like that, the Cleveland Browns were thrilled to draft Quinn in the 1st Round of the 2007 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, things didn’t go according to plan when Quinn got to the NFL. After three miserable seasons with the Browns, he was traded to the Broncos. In two full seasons with the Broncos Quinn did not take a single snap. Over the next few seasons he tried out for several teams, but wasn’t able to drum up any interest. In 2015, Quinn officially retired from the NFL, with just 12 touchdown passes in 24 career games.
