OverviewOnly sophomore ever to win the Heisman Trophy, the Sullivan Award, the Davey O’Brien Award and the Maxwell Award (2007)…Only player in NCAA history to rush and pass for at least 20 touchdowns in a season…First sophomore in UF history to be named an All-American (2007)…First UF quarterback to be named an All-American (2007) since Rex Grossman in 2001…The first UF player to be named a first-team Academic All-American selection (2007) in over a decade… Second player to repeat as Maxwell Award winner in 2007 and 2008.
StrengthsThere's something about Tebow...he has a huge heart, a load of fight and tonnes of athleticism. Built like a linebacker and runs with power when his number is called in the huddle. Undoubted leader, has all the smarts and is a genuine all-round good guy to boot.
WeaknessesLacks touch and accuracy on his throws. Really doesn't have the accuracy you would want from an NFL quarterback. Has a long wind-up before his release. Checks down to the run a little early on occasions. Has had his stats inflated by Urban Meyer's system -- the same system Alex Smith played in.
ProjectionSomeone will take him in the first round, but I wouldn't want it to be my team.

Date/Time: 01/4/2010 - 7:59PM CST Predicted Round: Round 2 He would be a perfect fit in the wildcat in my opinion...too bad Miami took pat white in the 2nd last year, tebow would be a great fit in miami User: BUFFALO BILL Date/Time: 05/6/2009 - 10:22AM CDT Predicted Round: Round 1 Someone will take him in the first Rd and IMO it will payoff. I think tebow will be a good pro and shock all cridics. User: NinerFan85 Date/Time: 01/6/2009 - 1:28PM CST Predicted Round: Round 2 Good arm but I don't think his accuracy will ever be good enough. User: UnderagedPhenom Date/Time: 12/20/2008 - 11:55AM CST Predicted Round: Round 2 If he stays he can either move into 1st and prove himself as a QB, OR he can downgrade himself play poorly and not be drafted until round 4.. At first when this idea of him going pro came up i said GO BACK ONE MORE YEAR, but thinking of the consequences and some of the things that make Tebow unique, he can probably be a 2nd round pick this year. Compared to Alex Smith who Urban Meyer also coached, but even if Tebow doesnt start like Smith did, he will probably be a better rounded Pro. User: Rotak Date/Time: 11/6/2008 - 6:48AM CST Predicted Round: Round 3 Poor man's Ben Roethlisberger. Ben was much more refined than Tebow, but the similarities are pretty similar. Both have strong arms and can make deep throws all day. Both have loooooong releases, are strong QBs with mobility. Tebow is a better runner, Ben is a bit taller. The real edge for Ben is that his mechanics are much better. Tebow really struggles to use his lower body when he throws (He should be able to throw it farther than he is) and that causes some inconsistency with his release point. Tebow does seem to ooze leadership. If you're looking for a guy to run a timing offense, look elsewhere. Tebow will make some big plays for a team - after a year or two sitting on the bench - but he's also going to take a lot of sacks and miss on some easy throws. Something about him makes me think he could work out for the right team with realistic expectations. User: BraylonChamp#17 Date/Time: 10/28/2008 - 8:03PM CDT Predicted Round: Round 1 he is decent, but i think that he is the second coming of kordell stewart, below average at everything and wont ever have a true position, but some DUMB team will pick him high because of poetential. User: ytse_jammer Date/Time: 09/28/2008 - 6:09PM CDT Predicted Round: Round 1 Will be one of the biggest busts in NFL history. Not as fast or as accurate as Alex Smith in the same offense, which is decidedly NFL-unfriendly. Terrible mechanics will need to be overhauled. If he went to New Mexico and not Florida he'd never sniff the NFL. He does improve every year, so there is hope, and he is a great leader and winner with great clutch ability User: boobee Date/Time: 02/1/2008 - 1:19PM CST Predicted Round: Round 1 No Comments Submitted User: raidersgohard Date/Time: 01/29/2008 - 11:06PM CST Predicted Round: Round 1 he's is #1 in the 2010 draft hands down straight up Rate This Player |
