Tim Tebow had a fairly good showing at this year’s Pro Day held at the University of Florida with mixed reviews on his new throwing style in preparation for his new life as an NFL super star. At least that's how some may speculate while others refer to Tebow merely as a novelty.
One of Tebow's personal coaches predicts the NFL scouts will be very impressed.
"I think it's going to change some opinions," said Arizona State offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone, one of many who have been working with Tebow to refine his throwing ability.
Tim Tebow's throwing motion looked a bit different during Wednesday's workout. Some described that his throw looked more fluid and that he throws the ball closer to his shoulder. His accuracy also looked solid.
Reporter Michael C. Wright tweeted about Tim Tebow's Pro Day performance and he wasn't overly impressed:"Looks like Tebow worked out one kink and developed another. There's still a small loop & now a bit of a pause in motion. Mechanical looking."
One of Tebow’s biggest flaws during his College career was that he overanalyzed his throwing motion and made repetitive changes, sometimes at the expense of his performance. Making such a drastic change for the Pro Day event gives some credence to speculators that this flaw will continue into his professional career.
Even with the mixed reviews, Tebow is getting allot of attention from potential future boss’s
In recent days, there has been some speculation that Shanahan, coach of the Washington Redskins is looking for a new gun in town. The Redskins are 1 of 5 teams that have scheduled a work out day with Tebow, the 6' 2", 234 pound quarterback to understand his abilities and to see his new throwing style and what impact he might be in the NFL.
This, on the heels of signing former Chicago backup quarterback Rex Grossman and the recent tendering of starting quarter back Jason Cambell.
Of course one of the issues Cambell had in Washington wasn’t solely a lack of talent, but lack of support in the run game or in his offensive line. Placing a Tebow in this same type of situation could be detrimental to a young quarter back (reference Mathew Stafford).
Tebow could be the perfect fit, however, in a Mike Shanahan style offense. He possesses great mobility and speed (2010 Combine results = 40 yard dash (4.72), Vertical Jump (38.5), Broad Jump (9′07″)) and the ability to break tackles when the pocket breaks down. Tebow also could provide the offensive leadership that the Redskins have lacked since the days of Gus Frerotte or even maybe further back of the days of Mark Rypien.
While many mock drafts have Tebow going in the early second round and Washington either picking up Bradford or even Jimmy Clausen, I just feel Mike Shanahan (the drafting guru that he is) will pick Tebow in the 4th for two specific reasons. 1st, Tebow fits Shanahan’s model the best and 2nd, Tebow will offer the Redskins more mobility in the pocket.
