All eyes on Quinn
Rookie quarterback enjoys first day of Browns camp
Perhaps spurred on by Joe Theisman, who had biting remarks about his fellow ND alum's appearance at the draft, Brady Quinn showed up at camp with a new haircut.
BEREA, Ohio (AP) -- Satellite TV trucks were stacked up side-by-side and there were more media members watching from the sideline than players on the field.
The Cleveland Browns never had a rookie mini-camp look like this.
With Brady Quinn around, nothing may ever be the same again.
Wearing his familiar No. 10, and a shiny orange helmet he had dreamed of buckling on since he was a kid, Quinn practiced for the first time as a pro quarterback as the Browns began a three-day camp for their draft picks and free agents.
When the 11/2-hour workout ended, Quinn wanted more.
"I had too much fun out there," he said. "I think the practice was too short for me. I've been waiting so long for this opportunity, and now it's come."
Quinn, who wound up with the Browns after being passed over by several other teams in the first round of the NFL draft last Saturday, showed some offseason rust during passing drills. It was the first time he had worked out in a team environment since Notre Dame's appearance in the Sugar Bowl in January.
