Tebow is a unique prospect in every way. Any time a quarterback breaks a rushing record- Tebow set the SEC rushing touchdown mark this season- you know something is different. Tebow doesn’t run the ball the same way Michael Vick does, with speed and agility. Instead, Tebow punishes defenders with his fullback-like 240 pound frame.
As a passer, Tebow is clearly the product of a seemingly flawless college system that allowed him to account for 51 touchdowns this season. But he does seem rather accurate, completing over 68% of his passes while throwing for over 260 yards per game. While he doesn’t have JaMarcus Russell’s arm strength, Tebow can fire the ball when he has to.
If Tebow can be compared to anyone as a prospect it is probably Vince Young, who was the third overall pick in 2006 draft. Prospects as unique as Tebow normally deal with extremes when it comes to their draft stock. Right now Tebow is probably the #1 overall pick in 2009, or a fourth round selection as a fullback in 2010. If Tebow continues to put up big stats and win Heismans, there is no reason why he shouldn’t be drafted as a quarterback.
Tebow’s pro career will be interesting and when it begins he could be one of college football’s all-time most prolific players. He won his first Heisman on Saturday, and by the time he’s done, Tebow could have one or two more.

that doesn't even make sense, yet, i strangely agree.
What's such the big deal about hangin' a little brain?
He did throw the ball 50 yards on one knee......when he was 12!!!!
Hey Rickhouse: I still haven't seen your e-mail; my addy is stopmikelupica@hotmail.com.
1) It's "fare", not "fair".
2) There is no age limit in the NFL. It's just three years after you finish high school. If you graduate at 12, you can be in the NFL at 15.
Ate at a Carrabba's Sat. night and listened to a guy who was undoubtedly a Gators fan say that "Whomever drafts Tebow is going to win a lot" or something along those lines...
...until a more educated fan came along and said "Well, he's not that good of a passer and might be a better TE." Which is arguable, but probably better than "whoever drafts him is a winner!".
The former guy also added that winning the Heisman was going to elevate his draft status. Which is also debatable.
Ya X i knew that, because Okoye was 19 when he entered last year. Thanks for correcting my piss poor grammar as well.
He'll get tea bagged too often in the NFL.
