Road to the pros: Brady Quinn on Xbox Live

It is every college football player’s dream to become a pro and make it to the big leagues. Even former University of Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn himself possesses the same aspiration as well. As good as he already is (2006 Maxwell Award winner for college football’s top player; a finalist for this past season’s Heisman Trophy), Quinn tosses and turns at night wondering if he’ll ever make it.

Anyway, we brought up the topic because Microsoft is giving Xbox 360 owners a chance to have an inside look at the weekly routine of Quinn which will be showing his favorite video games, workouts, and training sessions leading up to the 2007 draft on April 28. Likewise, Quinn will be maintaining a weekly blog every Friday starting on February 9 on Xbox.com.

Exclusive high-definition videos of select pre-draft workouts and training sessions along with footage of Quinn’s everyday activities and appearances will be available for download at the Marketplace. What’s more interesting about this is the culmination on April 27. On this day, fans will get to know what goes on inside his head at the eve of the draft in Game With Fame. Gold members can both interview and play games with Quinn.

It seems like Brady Quinn is on his way to becoming a professional star. We wonder when he’ll be playing in a pro football game. Next year perhaps? Oh well, that’s still a long way to go. But for now, the rising star has these things to impart:

I’m humbled by the opportunity to give fans a rare look at the physical and mental preparation it takes to make it in the pros. I’m excited to connect with people through Xbox as well as look forward to learning more about the video game community. I can’t wait for the opportunity to kick back with the Xbox 360 community, chat about my experience and unwind with them over a few games on Xbox Live.
