Brady Quinn
Quinn was everything you look for in a young quarterback: a strong arm, a charismatic leader, and a million-dollar smile. During his time at Notre Dame, Quinn won just about every award you can win as a college quarterback. 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 First 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. For a man who set 36 school records during his time at Notre Dame, Quinn’s career was a major disappointment. Quinn, who has a face made for TV, has become an excellent analyst for Fox Sports, working NFL, college football, and XFL games.
