Those screams were from this man, Brady Quinn, backup quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.
Why was Quinn screaming?
Because on Saturday, in New York City, when Vernon Gholston was selected 6th overall by the New York Jets, the "green room" was empty. The NFL invited six prospects to the draft, and they were the first six players taken.
Last season, Quinn was projected to be a high pick, and was invited to New York for the draft by the NFL. He was expected to be, at worst, the third pick, which was held by the Cleveland Browns. The Browns selected offensive tackle Joe Thomas, and Quinn's monumental slide began.
He fell all the way to 22nd, where the Browns selected him after moving up in a trade. Quinn had to sit, alone, in the green room for hours and listen to other players' names being called. The entire time, ESPN showed his reactions to each pick.
The 6-for-6 showing this past weekend is just one last little bit of salt in that wound for Brady Quinn.
