Notre Dame QB Quinn 22nd in draft

NEW YORK, April 28 (UPI) -- Notre Dame's star quarterback Brady Quinn had to wait more than four hours Saturday before he became the 22nd selection by the Cleveland Browns.

The Browns sent their second-round pick (36th overall) and their 2008 first-round pick to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for Quinn.

Quinn, winner of the Maxwell Award as the top college player and the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award as the top senior quarterback, set a Notre Dame record with 37 touchdown passes while throwing for 3,426 yards and just seven interceptions this past season.

He is the only quarterback in school history to throw for more than 3,000 yards in a season, having accomplished the feat twice. He set a school record in 2005 with 3,919 passing yards.

Quinn holds 36 school records and ranks among the top 10 in NCAA Division 1-A history in both passing yards (11,762) and passing touchdowns (95).
