"We are pleased to have Craig join our organization in a very significant role," said Brewers general manager Doug Melvin. "His knowledge of how to play the game, along with his work ethic and passion to see the Brewers succeed, will now be utilized and welcomed by our front office."

MySportsbook.com Posts Heisman Trophy Odds

With 3,919 passing yards, 32 touchdowns and a mere seven interceptions last season, combined with a powerful South Bend Heisman legacy, odds makers at MySportsbook.com have given Notre Dame senior quarterback Brady Quinn the best Heisman Trophy odds at 5-2.
