Not a Good Impression

Tim Tebow just concluded a great career at the University of Florida. He set a slew of NCAA passing records and won the Heisman trophy in 2007. Yet, he is in the cross hairs of critics and NFL draft gurus.

Many do not feel that he can play QB in the NFL. They think he might be better suited as a tight end. His arm strength has been criticized. Taking most of his snaps out of the shotgun has not endeared him to scouts since most offenses have the QB standing over the center. He has great running skills, but that is not suited for an NFL offense.

He played last Saturday in the Senior Bowl, the classic showcase of future NFL talent. He fumbled twice and completed 8 of 12 passes for 50 yards.

Before the draft, he will be turned inside out as everyone will be piling on feeling that he has no future at the position.

This observer feels that he might be a good pick in the third round. Anything higher than that is a potential risk.
