Without question, one of the top storylines in the draft will be where Florida quarterback Tim Tebow will be selected.
More Tebow opinion flows, this time from Mayock and McShay
More than one NFL talent evaluator has told ESPN’s Chris Mortensen that Tebow would be taken in the first round. Peter King of Sports Illustrated and NBC was told by two unnamed coaches that Tebow wouldn’t last past them in round one.
Everyone, it seems, has their own opinion or inside information on Tebow. This time, we get to hear from the NFL Network’s Mike Mayock and ESPN’s Todd McShay, thanks to MIchael DiRocco of Jacksonville.com. They were talking with DiRocco about the Senior Bowl.
Mayock:
“Most people think that he’s risking the most of any player coming to play in this game,” Mayock said. “I think it’s a brilliant move. Here’s a guy who’s arguably the best player to ever play college football, yet most NFL scouts will probably put him in the third round.
“. . . The fact that Tim Tebow is coming here and willing to expose himself to this kind of scrutiny I think speaks volumes to the type of kid he is.”
McShay:
“I think we pretty much know as much as there is to know about a player in regards to Tim Tebow,” said McShay, the director of college football scouting for Scouts Inc. and an ESPN contributor. “I’ll be surprised if workouts and all-star games change teams’ opinions. I think the one thing that will help Tim Tebow the most is sitting down in those interview rooms. All it takes is one team and one decision-maker to fall in love with him and take him a half a round or full round higher than he should go.”
