Brady Quinn, QB

Man, did the Browns mess up when they selected Brady Quinn. The Ohio native was selected 22nd by Cleveland during the 2007 NFL Draft.

Having already drafted left tackle Joe Thomas third, the Browns envisioned soldifying two key posiitons in round one. It was assumed that Bby taking Thomas and then Quinn, general manager Phil Savage would be around for a very long time. Of course we all know that never happen.

Despite missing on Quinn, at least the franchise got one pick right in the first round. Even if Quinn wasn’t selected in the first, his career outlook likely wouldn’t be that much different.

There was a lot of optomisim with Quinn’s play but he never was able to take the neccessary steps forwrd to improve.

While in Cleveland, Quinn earned a 3-9 record where he threw for 1,902 yards, 10 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. The only other team Quinn played a regular season game for was the Kansas City Chiefs, which was in 2012.

Following his stint in Cleveland, Quinn was a member of the Denver Broncos before the Chiefs. After playing for K.C., Quinn also joined the Seattle Seahawks, New York Jets, Los Angeles Rams, and Miami Dolphins.

Next: Todd Haley is the OC but does it matter?

Quinn can now be seen on Fox Sports calling games. Come 2020, Quinn will be 36 years old. If he still has the itch to play then, the XFL would make a lot of sense to join. Manziel would have been on this list but due to the XFL’s rules, he is ineligible to play in their league.
