'07 CA QB Jimmy Clausen (Signed LOI to Notre Dame)

[Junkhead]

Both had above average success in the NFL. The average career is like 3 seasons.

I don't know about that. What is the average career length for QBs picked in the top 50 picks. It's hard to say since neither really played much in the NFL. They only threw for a combined 6000yds. I honestly thought both would do better in the NFL. Oh well, at least they escaped with their health!

I never had a great feeling about Clausen going to the NFL. Brady lasted a pretty long time, and I can see why. Injuries aside, he got a raw deal on a lot of the teams he played for. When he was healthy, he often played behind porous lines. Not saying he was Tom Brady, but I think he could have had a better career if he had been drafted to a better team. When you consider some of the QBs that have started in the NFL in recent years, it's no surprise he hung around for several years.

Michael Vick throws eight touchdowns in inaugural flag football game | ProFootballTalk

Via JuliaKate Culpepper of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Vick threw for 547 yards and eight touchdowns. And that may or may not really mean anything within the context of flag football (one game, small sample size, and we haven’t seen opposing quarterback Jimmy Clausen’s stat line), but it’s a big number so it’s the kind of thing that catches your eye.

Michael Vick leads Team Vick to victory in American Flag Football Leag

NFL vets find new life in pro flag football alongside Michael Vick, Terrell Owens - CBSSports.com

Two years ago, Jimmy Clausen was preparing for his second season with the Chicago Bears.
He was just a half-decade removed from a big-time college football career at Notre Dame, an early-round entry to the NFL as the 48th overall selection of the 2010 draft and an opportunity to be the Carolina Panthers' franchise quarterback.
The spotlight was bright.
Did Clausen ever think that now, in 2017, he would be taking snaps against Team Vick -- that's the Michael Vick, yes -- and alongside Terrell Owens, Chad Johnson and other big-name NFL veterans ... in a professional flag football league?
"Never."
He laughed a little.
"Never in a million years did I think this was going to happen for me," he said in the spare moments before a workout with Owens and his American Flag Football League teammates. "But this is how I got started, with flag."
