Brady Quinn Staying Hungry

June 30, 2008

The fact that Derek Anderson is the Browns’ starting quarterback going into this season hasn’t discouraged second-year backup Brady Quinn; it’s motivated him more than anything else.  Quinn, known for his tireless workout routine in the weight room, has become an all-around workaholic.  Quinn reportedly looked impressive in minicamp and routinely spends hours after practice refining his routes and working on throws.

Quinn is the kind of player that any team would want.  His work ethic could be unparalleled from a physical standpoint the way Peyton Manning’s time spent watching tape is unmatched.  Some first round picks would be sulking if they knew they weren’t going to be starting the season as the team’s signal caller, but Quinn just works harder and keeps his mouth shut.  He accepts that Anderson had a great season last year and isn’t calling for his turn or demanding a trade.  In this day and age where too many young athletes come into the league with a sense of entitlement, Quinn’s humble demeanor and dedication serve as a breath of fresh air.  The Browns must have high hopes for this young man, and I must admit that I’ve been rooting for him ever since his well-documented draft day slide.
