Jimmy Clausen to have surgery

Jimmy Clausen QB – Notre Dame Junior 6’3″ 223 lbs

Former Notre Dame quarterback and perhaps the top rated QB in the 2010 NFL Draft, Jimmy Clausen will undergo surgery to fix torn ligaments in his right big toe this week. The injury reportedly occurred sometime in Septemeber, which means Clausen played almost the entire season with the injury. According to reports, Clausen will be unable to workout for 2-3 months, but will throw for scouts in April. This means Clausen will miss the NFL Scouting Combine and will be relying on private workouts for NFL teams.


We’ll monitor this situation to see if it will have any effect on Clausen’s draft stock. Lucky for Clausen, the other top rated QB available, Sam Bradford, is also coming off a surgery that has kept him from working out.
