Tim Tebow has announced today that he will watch the NFL Draft from his Jacksonville home with his family instead of attending the three-day event in New York.
Tebow, one of the top-five quarterbacks in the draft, won the Heisman Trophy in 2007 for Florida, however, many scouts believe Tebow lacks the tools to play quarterback in the NFL, including his long delivery and some accuracy issues.
Tebow has spent his post-collegiate career redefining his mechanics, including his wind-up as well as taking snaps under center. When he debuted his new throwing pattern at Florida's pro-day, many scouts were impressed, but still skeptical.
The draft, which begins Thursday at 7 p.m. will tak eplace at Radio City Music hall. 17 players have accepted draft invitations including fellow quarterback Sam Bradford.
Tebow is projected by many anaylists to be taken in the late second-round or early third-round, however, there could be a team willing to take a risk on drafting Tebow in the first round, including his hometown football program, the Jacksonville Jaguars.
