According to NFL Media’s Dan Hanzus, Quinn has been working with former NFL quarterback Jeff Christensen, who has also worked with the likes of Drew Stanton and Kirk Cousins in the past.
Remember, he never made an official retirement statement. Yes, he made the decision to join Fox Sports last year; hanging up his cleats and picking up a microphone.
“Obviously, nothing compares to playing quarterback, but I am looking forward to this next career challenge and the tremendous opportunity it affords me to remain close to the sport I love at both the collegiate and professional levels,” says a quote attributed to Quinn last summer right before he joined FOX Sports as a college football and NFL studio and game analyst.
The St. Louis Rams signed Quinn last October. To make room on the active roster, the Rams released offensive lineman Brandon Washington and place starting quarterback Sam Bradford on injured reserve. It didn’t work out though, as Quinn never through a pass in St. Louis.
