Draft Scout Tim Tebow News
05/06/13 - Imagine Tim Tebow, not Jim McMahon, leading the Chicago Bears to the Super Bowl.
While that may be a reach, former Bears coach Mike Ditka feels Tebow can succeed in the National Football League.
"I think [Tebow] can play quarterback in the NFL, but whatever offense you run might have to be tweaked a bit," Ditka told the Chicago Sun-Times. "This kid is a talent and he proved it in college. He is an outstanding leader. Now, does he have an unusual throwing motion? Yes. But there a lot of quarterbacks that didn't have a perfect throwing motion. Some of them turned out to be great quarterbacks because they were great leaders."
Ditka also suggested that Tebow, who was released last week by the New York Jets, may be better off changing positions.
"I really do think there's a place for him," Ditka told the Times. "If not at quarterback, I think he could play tight end. If I was in the league and coaching today, I would take a chance on him at quarterback."
04/08/13 - QB Tim Tebow is approaching the 2013 season as if he'll be a member of the New York Jets.
Tebow plans to attend voluntary offseason workouts scheduled to start next Monday (April 15).
Tebow, acquired from the Denver Broncos last year, is one of five quarterbacks on the roster but is reportedly on the trading block.
04/08/13 - Tim Tebow is approaching the 2013 season as if he'll be a member of the New York Jets.
Tebow plans to attend voluntary offseason workouts scheduled to start next Monday (April 15) according to multiple reports.
Tebow, acquired from the Denver Broncos last year, is one of five quarterbacks on the roster but is reportedly on the trading block.
The Jets haven't directly addressed Tebow's status, but at the Scouting Combine in February, coach Rex Ryan said Tebow would come to camp ready to compete if he's still a part of the team.
12/31/12 - QB Tim Tebow saw his first snap in two games on Sunday, when he handed off to Joe McKnight on a first-and-goal from the Bills' 9-yard line with 12:23 left in the second quarter of the Jets' 28-9 loss. McKnight gained two yards and the Jets eventually settled for their second field goal of the game. Tebow didn't play another down in what will almost certainly be his final game with the Jets.
12/24/12 - QB Tim Tebow would have played Sunday if coach Rex Ryan asked him to, "without question," Ryan said on a conference call Monday. ESPN.com reported Tebow had told Ryan he would not play in the Wildcat package the Jets usually use him in. Tebow also told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday night that he and Ryan had a falling out earlier in the week but that he told Ryan on Friday that he'd play in the Wildcat package.
