Brady Quinn wants you to know he has big muscles

We are now a few days removed from Brady Quinn’s colossal slide down the NFL Draft board, and still, I feel pretty bad for the guy. As much fun as it is to rip on Notre Dame as an institution and its far-reaching tentacles, there isn’t much fun in going after the guy too hard. (For me, anyways.)

So, what I will do now is take you back to Combine, where Quinn was still wide-eyed and full of hope that he’d be snatched with the first overall selection. He even went so far as the ignore all his advisers and go after it on the bench press, because he is just so-totally-insanely competitive. (Man, that strength coach is about the meatiest dude I’ve ever seen. Come on, Sunshine!)

If you don’t want to stick around for the whole clip — which involves an awkward interview in the back half — don’t miss the NFL Network’s commentators’ banter right at the beginning.

Dude No. 1: Brady Quinn the face of the Irish now looking to be the top pick in the NFL Draft…..people think he may be slipping, some say he is the top quarterback in the draft……

Dude No. 2: Brady Quinn came here in great shape, looks the part. And I think that Brady Quinn should be a top pick. And I think it’s ridiculous to think that Brady Quinn would actually slide out of that top 10. That’s absurd.

Um, whoops.
