Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen: ‘I’m in a great situation right now’
Article By dcurtis.tsn on 24th March, 2010
Although Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen didn't throw for scouts, he attended Notre Dame's pro day Tuesday and had individual meetings with representatives of the Redskins and 49ers. Clausen, who has been recovering from January surgery to repair two torn ligaments in his right big toe, will hold his own workout for NFL teams on April 9 in South Bend. He spoke with a group of reporters, including Sporting News' Dave Curtis, after Tuesday's event.
Jimmy Clausen has resumed running after surgery on toe ligaments injured in September.

SN: Do you feel like you deserved better?
JC: It's whatever it is. I'm in a great situation right now, and I don't think I'd be in this situation if I would've known I had two torn tendons. If I had known, I probably would have had the surgery the next day.
SN: What have you been doing the last three weeks?
JC: I have been lifting a lot Š my upper body, my left leg, doing core. These past two weeks, I've been getting my throwing motion down, getting ready for April 9. Once my toe...
