As per ESPN. I'm very surprised. It doesn't really make sense. The guy may not be picked until the 3rd round. If he decides to go it's gonna just be embarassing for him like it was for Brady Quinn and he at least got taken in the 1st round.
Yeah I don't get it either. I would be shocked if he was selected in the first round by anybody. He was such a big college star I guess they're trying to force him down the NFL's throat.
Schefter made a great point by saying this could be done to boost the Draft ratings because people are such big fans of Tebow.
Tebow has star power and the NFL Draft is show bizz.Starpower is good . It may be even better if Tebow does not get selected until later as they can stretch the drama out to a couple of days .
Ecspecially with the new format (draft staring Thursday) that guy could really be hanging there until Saturday night!
The NFL is so powerfull there draft is actually gonna kill any NBA game or MLB game in the ratings. The NFL is everyone elses daddy.
You guys know were gonna have three days of Tebow responding with things like "Ill get drafted where jesus thinks I should" "Jesus Christ is my savior" "The lord works in mysterious ways" sigh.
Im gonna laugh when the Jags take him at 10 lol. I know I know. More likely they take him in round 2, but I would laugh hard.
Thats true i didnt even think about that unless i was pretty much Garunteed to go in the first round i wouldnt accept it
I'm sure his name will be mentioned many more times than anyone else's. In fact, I'd like to bet that his name will be mentioned during almost each and every pick.
Not a drinker myself, but thinking about that Lions made me think someone should use that as a drinking game on draft night. "Every time they say Tebow..."
