As a high school junior in 2001, he was able to throw for 2,200 yards and 21 touchdowns to go along with 15 interceptions, posting a 9–4 record with which Coffman reached the Division I state semi-finals.

On March 14, 2010, Quinn was traded to the Denver Broncos in exchange for Peyton Hillis, a 6th round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, and a conditional late-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Quinn competed at quarterback with Broncos' incumbent Kyle Orton. He began the regular season second on the depth chart, behind Orton, and did not play in any game in 2010.

In August 2011, Quinn was once again named third on the depth chart, behind Orton and Tebow. In Week 5, Tebow entered the game against the San Diego Chargers at half time in place of Orton, and Tebow has started every Broncos game since, with Quinn remaining on the bench.
