Jimmy Clausen speaks after draft disappointment, says he reached out to Tim TebowThe still-undrafted Jimmy Clausen spoke to ESPN after he failed to hear his name called in the first round of the NFL draft.
Clausen said he was "doing all right" and did not show frustration that he slipped out of the draft's first day.
"It's just a dream come true that I'm going to be playing in the National Football League," he said. "Obviously I didn't get drafted in the first round, but one team's going to like me. And I can't wait to see who that is."
Many analysts had Clausen projected as a top-10 pick, and very few predicted he would fall out of the first round. He was widely seen as the second-best quarterback in the draft class, but the Broncos made Tim Tebow a surprise pick at No. 25 as the second signal caller taken.
Clausen said he was "happy for Tim."
"As soon as he got picked, I got my cell phone and texted him and said 'congratulations,' " Clausen said.
Where will Clausen go? The Rams own the first pick of the second round, and don't need Clausen after choosing Sam Bradford No. 1 overall. The Vikings, with the second pick, and the Chiefs, with the fourth, could be interested.
