Vikes to interview Quinn

INDIANAPOLIS--Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn won’t work out at this week’s NFL scouting combine, but he is scheduled to interview with Vikings officials tonight.

Quinn, whom the Vikings have said they would consider taking with the seventh overall selection, said he would have no problem fitting in to coach Brad Childress’ West Coast offense.

“I think I’d be a good fit in any offense at this point in time,” he said.

Quinn said his goal is to be the first player taken in the draft, not just the first quarterback, and seemed irritated by reports that he could be slipping in the first round.

“No offense to everyone out there, but I try to stay out of reading all the articles and watching all the shows,” he said. “For those people who have said that, what’s been echoed to me, I mean, it’s kind of hard for a guy to slip at this time. I haven’t played a game in the past couple months so it’s funny to kind of sit back and hear some of that. You think, did I not lift today or do something wrong in the weight room? Miss a rep? I’m confused. It’s just funny, but it’s just one of those things you can use for motivation.”
