Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn Teams Up With Xbox 360
Former Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn, a lock first round NFL draft pick (and possible #1) and Heisman Trophy runner-up, is working with Microsoft on a promotional campaign. As part of the hype leading up the NFL draft, Quinn’s pre-draft workouts (which affect where he will be drafted) and other appearances will be downloadable in HD on Xbox Live.
Quinn will also write an Xbox.com blog, and on April 27, the day before the draft, he will face off against the Xbox Live community in a “Game With Fame” event. These events, which in the past have included famous people and sports personalities like Jack Black, Andy Roddick, poker pro Daniel Negreanu, Audioslave, LaMarcus Aldridge, Matisyahu!, Jason Giambi, P.O.D., Green Day and INXS, are very popular because they allow gamers to play against and even beat their favorite celebrities, as well as talk to them via the Xbox Live headset during the game.
Brady Quinn will be a great promotional tool for xbox. Unlike his Big 10 opponents (namely OSU) Brady has played the game and lived his life with integrity and good character.
