What does this mean for the Steelers and the NFL?
It means that they need to move fast in deciding if they need to bring in another quarterback.
An Orlando Sentinal blogger has suggested that Florida Gators superstar Tim Tebow, who had is Pro Day in Miami, should be drafted by Pittsburgh as a first round mentor to Big Ben.
Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was in Gainesville for Pro Day.Today's Calls: Barack Obama vs. the Final Four, Arkansas-Pine Bluff vs. Duke, Tim Tebow vs. pro day, Tiger Woods vs. Augusta National, Suns vs. 152 points, Angels fans vs. Snuggies, Natalie Gulbis vs. Lane Kiffin and More. Tim Tebow won a lot of big games at Florida Field during his epic career, but Wednesday's defeat of some of his biggest critics rates as one of his most impressive victories yet."To be honest with you," NFL Network draft analyst Mike Mayock said after watching the new and improved Tebow model, "I was blown away."
The man under the microscope felt pretty good about it, too.
"There was a lot of pressure, but thankfully I've been in some other situations where there was pressure," Tebow said after the much-anticipated unveiling of his revamped throwing motion during the University of Florida's pro day. "That's the great thing about work ethic; when you want to change something, if you work on it enough, it'll change."
He definitely changed some perceptions about his stock in the 2010 NFL Draft.
An estimated crowd of more than 2,000 filed into the stadium and ignored a light rain to watch about a dozen Gators audition for nearly 100 NFL decision-makers, including five head coaches. More than 150 media credentials were issued for the affair. Even a concessions stand was open.
"Pretty elaborate deal, for a pro day," Carolina coach John Fox said.
And No. 15 was the main event.
At 11:53 a.m., Tebow emerged from the same south end zone tunnel from which he was wildly cheered by 90,000 the last four seasons. He stretched and warmed up while his teammates completed their shuttle-run, three-cone and other drills before he was called to the north end zone to begin.
"C'mon Tim!" shouted a woman from the bleachers wearing Tebow jersey. "Show 'em all how wrong they are!"
It had been nearly six weeks since Tebow's underwhelming performance during Senior Bowl workouts, where his flawed mechanics and footwork were on display for every NFL heavy-hitter to see. The performance only fed the analysis from the likes of Mayock, Mel Kiper Jr., ESPN's Todd McShay and others that Tebow was a mid-round project at best, and should consider moving to H-back.
