Tim Tebow Seems Just as Confident as the Rest of Us About His NFL Draft Status

When you think about Tim Tebow, a few select words come to mind -- strong, tough, muscular, Chuck Norris. One that doesn't normally flow off the tongue, however, is "insecure."

Yet that is what the Florida quarterback seems like when discussing his jump to the next phase of football, asking the NFL advisory committee for a projection on just where he might land if he goes in the April draft.

Most everyone that knows a little about the pigskin can see Tebow as a fullback or linebacker in the pros. But he isn't going to be a quarterback in the NFL. It just isn't going to happen. That is no knock on Tebow. With all the praise he gets from the MSM, you'd almost expect his birthday to be in seven days -- and most of that praise is warranted -- but he just isn't cut from the mold that allows one to make it professionally at play-caller.

Tebow, who hopes to win a second national title with the Gators when they take on Oklahoma on Jan. 8 in the FedEx BCS National Championship Game, told reporters Wednesday he's not leaning one way or the other.
"I have no clue. I haven't been thinking about it so far," said Tebow.

Wait, isn't lying a sin? Jesus is not going to be very happy with you, Mr. Tebow. Of course you're thinking about it, you requested a projection from the NFL ADVISORY COMMITTEE. That, kind sir, is thinking about it.

Either way, you have to think that Tebow will come back for his senior season at Florida. Win or lose against Oklahoma, Tebow is the top collegiate sports star in our country, and once he declares for the draft he will be just another Heisman winner with a decent job holding clipboards and occasionally making funny Sportscenter commercials.

If he does make it in the NFL as a quarterback? I'd be the first to admit I was wrong. And then I'd send Vince Young some of the nicest flowers I could find.
