Brady Quinn weighs in on Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard

June 26, 2024College Football

When you talk about the greatest quarterbacks Notre Dame has ever seen it doesn’t take long to get to Brady Quinn.  The two-time Heisman Trophy finalist now works as a college football analyst on Fox Sports and recently met projected Notre Dame starting quarterback Riley Leonard for the first time.

“He’s a big kid,” Quinn said of the 6-foot-4, 216-pound senior. “He fits the bill for that. He’s a good athlete. He’s got a strong arm. I think he’s very capable of stepping into that role and being the guy. Obviously, an experienced quarterback. He brings all those intangibles to Notre Dame.”

As for Leonard’s recovery from injury that has left Notre Dame fans a bit concerned this off-season:

“I mean, look, injuries are always a concern,” said Quinn, now 39 and a decade removed from a pro career with seven NFL teams. “Especially when you’ve got a history. I dealt with foot issues. It’s just something you have to stay on top of and keep trying to do rehab, do different drills and things to help put yourself in the right position.”

Quinn also stressed the importance of others aiding in Leonard’s ultimate success at Notre Dame as the offensive line and new offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock will be key in the offense’s overall success in 2024.
