When it comes to throwing a football, Jimmy Clausen’s motions are near perfect. His sublime mechanics give him an important edge over his peers and have made him a top prospect in this year’s NFL draft. In “As Easy As 1, 2, 3… 756, 757, 758” ESPN The Magazine writer David Fleming dissects the former Notre Dame QB’s forward pass to find out what he does and how he makes it looks so simple. Clausen is also featured on the back cover of The Mag where he has been “Avatarized” in an ad promoting the Avatar DVD release. The copy is written in Na’vi and reads: “Noble Warrior; He Is Strong; He Is Ready.” Also a part of the NFL Draft issue, The Mag brought five mid-round draft prospects to NYC for a photo shoot and some fun in “Kings For A Day III.” And…The Mag calculated the Games Started Above Average (GSAA) to get a 1-32 ranking of each NFL teams’ war room success in “Picky, Picky.” The NFL Draft Issue is on newsstands Friday, April 9.
