Brady Quinn took part in what is being described as a rapid and thorough set of passing exercises during Notre Dame’s Pro Day yesterday.

“We threw everything people wanted to see,” Irish coach Charlie Weis said. “We put him through every throw that any NFL organization would want to see — from moving in the pocket, to moving from the pocket, to three-step, to five-step to seven-step. I think now they have enough information to make a critical evaluation, if they didn’t have enough on tape already.”

And it would seem that the workout did nothing to hurt Quinn’s draft status.

“Really, he made more throws here than you’d think about making at the combine,” Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress said. “I think he threw about 60 balls here today and it takes a little bit of endurance to be able to do that and he did it pretty rapid-fire succession.”

One thing that jumped out at me is the report that Quinn had fluid drained from his knee at the 2006 Southern Cal game.  Who knew?  I sure didn’t.

Quinn, who had fluid drained from his right knee at halftime of a game against Southern California and aggravated the injury in the Sugar Bowl against LSU, didn’t take part in any of the agility drills: the 40-yard dash or the 60-yard shuttle run. He said he’d do that at Notre Dame’s next pro day on March 22.
