"It was kind of that Boobie Miles moment," said Quinn, referencing the Texas high school tailback featured in the best-selling book Friday Night Lights, whose career was derailed by a knee injury. "When I looked at my mom when they told me I wouldn't play sports again, I became that big old baby and busted out in tears.

"It was just heartbreaking. But it didn't slow me down.

"And I'm still going."

Quinn has to undergo MRI monitoring every six months to check on the tumor. He showed a humble side yet a quiet confidence when he spoke to reporters Saturday before running a 4.73-second, 40-yard dash on Monday.

Robert Quinn, Rams surprised they are able to pick Quinn

The Julio Jones Sweepstakes ended early. The Alabama wide receiver won't be leaping tall corners in a single bound at the Edward Jones Dome. He went No. 6 - to Atlanta, thanks to a massive trade-up by the Falcons.

But as the Quarterback Panic of 2011 widened, with Tennessee reaching for Jake Locker at No. 8 and Minnesota really reaching for Christian Ponder at No. 12, the picture suddenly brightened in the Rams' draft room.

As it turned out, the Rams had more choices than could be expected when it came time to make the No. 14 selection in the draft Thursday night. Included in that cluster of potential picks were three prime ones -- Nebraska cornerback Prince Amukamara, Illinois defensive tackle Corey Liuget and North Carolina defensive end Robert Quinn.
