Florida's Tim Tebow will enter the NFL draft as one of the most decorated college quarterbacks of all-time.
He played on two national championship teams and won the Heisman trophy. But in order to succeed in the NFL, he has had to reconstruct his throwing motion and reevaluate his mechanics.
Tebow unveiled his new throwing motion for NFL scouts and coaches in Gainesville, Fla., on March 17, but some believe it will take years from him to change his passing habits.
"I’m making some adjustments and just trying to improve my fundamentals as best I can," Tebow said. "And that’s something I felt will improve my game and help me as a quarterback."
Cleveland, Buffalo and perhaps New England, which has three second-round picks, are potential landing spots for Tebow.
"I think he's a wonderful young man and a great football player," Cleveland Browns president Mike Holmgren said. "The first thing you have to answer is does his greatness in college translate into greatness in our game."
Holmgren has developed some top quarterbacks from Joe Montana and Steve Young to Brett Favre and Matt Hasselbeck. He's not a proponent of heavy tinkering with a quarterback's mechanics.
"It's always been my opinion that that's the most difficult thing to change in any quarterback," Holmgren said.
While Tebow may have some mechanics issues, most respect the intangibles he would bring to a team.
"I wish him well," Holmgren said. "I love him as a young man and as a player."
