Jimmy is Tough


Wow! How impressive is Jimmy Clausen. He played his final 10 games at Notre Dame with torn ligaments in his right big toe and has told ESPN.com that he will undergo surgery Tuesday morning. I mean think about it, at the time, Clausen had completed 50 of his first 70 passes on the season (71.4 percent), and he managed to finish the Michigan State game, going 22-of-31 for 300 yards in the 33-30 Irish victory. Shocker I know right but he is expected to be sidelined for two to three months, but intends to throw for pro scouts in early April. But this should help his stock on the toughness scale. A few league executives claimed the injury makes Clausen even more appealing now. St. Louis and Washington -- two teams picking in the top 4 -- are known to be interested in Clausen. I still wouldn't draft this guy over Sam Bradford though.
