Sack One of the Nation’s Top Quarterbacks on
Xbox LIVE
NFL Draft prospect Brady Quinn to challenge
fans in upcoming Xbox LIVE Game with Fame session.
Former Notre Dame quarterback and potential No. 1
overall draft pick Brady Quinn is spending the night before the start of his
professional career doing what he loves the most: hanging with family and
friends and playing EA Sports’ “Madden NFL 07” on Xbox 360. Quinn, who led the
Fighting Irish to two Bowl Championship Series games during his illustrious
career, will lead a virtual team on the field as part of the latest Xbox LIVE
Game with Fame session.
Xbox LIVE Gold members interested in challenging
the strong-arm quarterback in “Madden NFL 07” from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
EDT/4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. PDT on Friday, April 27, 2007, should send a friend
request to the gamertag BQuinnGWF.
Quinn, who is arguably the top prospect in this
year’s draft, will have his professional fate decided April 28-29 in New York
City when each of the professional teams selects the future of its franchise.
Many analysts speculate that Quinn will be selected within the top several picks
on draft day. The lucky gamers who are able to challenge him the evening before
will no doubt be playing against a rising star.
Quinn received the Maxwell Award as college
football’s top player in 2006, and he was a finalist for last season’s Heisman
Trophy. Quinn also was named the Cingular All-America Player of the Year during
his senior year and garnered the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award as the nation’s
top senior college quarterback.
The Xbox LIVE Game with Fame program gives Xbox
LIVE subscribers the unique opportunity to meet, chat and play against some of
today’s hottest stars. Past Game with Fame celebrity players include Kansas City
Chiefs’ Larry Johnson, New York Jets’ Jonathan Vilma, Jack Black, Jenny
McCarthy, Chamillionaire, New York Yankees’ Jason Giambi, Ryan Cabrera and

In “Madden NFL 07,” players control the running
game like never before. For the first time ever, players step up as the lead
blocker to create a hole, and then take control of the tailback and smash
through, overpower or slash away from would-be tacklers while fighting for every
yard. Innovative rushing controls give players a game-breaking ground attack
featuring all-new jukes, cutbacks and the distinct running styles of their
favorite quarterbacks.
