Quinn pays visit to the Browns, his team of choice

BEREA, Ohio (AP) Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn dressed in a light orange shirt for his visit to the Cleveland Browns. If he gets his wish, he'll soon have a matching orange helmet.

Quinn, who grew up in Dublin, Ohio, has said he wants to play for the Browns, the team he rooted for as a kid. On Thursday, he spent a few hours touring the team's headquarters and interviewing with coaches.

He arrived in Cleveland on Wednesday night and was taken to dinner by club officials.

The Browns have the No. 3 pick in this month's NFL draft, and they could use it to select Quinn, regarded as the second-best QB prospect behind LSU's JaMarcus Russell.

Russell visited the Browns on Wednesday as did Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson, another player who could wind up with Cleveland.

Last month, Browns owner Randy Lerner, general manager Phil Savage and coach Romeo Crennel attended Quinn's workout in South Bend, Ind. The 6-foot-4, 227-pound Quinn, who didn't throw or run at the NFL Combine, was presumed to be the No. 1 overall pick. However, his stock began to fall during last season and he was bypassed in the eyes of most draft experts after Russell outplayed him in LSU's win over the Fighting Irish in the Sugar Bowl.

I can't believe all these guys actually admitting they want to play for the Browns! Troy Smith has been quoted saying he wants to play for the Browns as well. I can understand being a big time QB and wanting to go to a place where you could start right away and hopefully turn a franchise around, but to actually say "I want to the play for the Browns" I don't think I would ever let those words roll off my tongue!

Let him go to Cleveland, He is going to wish after one season, he never let that damn thing roll of his tongue after the punishment we give him. We will give him a rude welcome to the NFL when he enters that STEEL FURANCE of a Defense. Muahahahaha.

He'll find out soon enough that the luck of the Irish can't help him wearing brown.

The Browns are still pretty high on French Frye so they may go OL with this pick or even RB since Rueben Jones is nothing special. Then again this is the Browns we're talking about here. Every big draft pick they get is either a bust or gets injured all the time...
