Brady Quinn Interview: Colorado View Magazine

According to him:

Brady Quinn was a mega star at Notre Dame. But now the household name is one of four competing for quarterback of the Denver Broncos. Even though the 26-year-old Brady Quinn is new to Denver, he’s sure to make a name here quickly because of his presence in a crowd. The six-foot-four heartthrob is a devout Christian who reads his bible every day and signs every autograph with favorite scripture. Stephanie Riggs talks to Brady Quinn to find out what else makes him tick.

SR: Best thing you’ve done so far in Denver?
BQ: Play for the Broncos, this is an outstanding organization.
