College Football News ranked Gator QB Tim Tebow as their #1 NFL prospect for the 2009 draft. Here’s an excerpt of what they had to say:
1. Tim Tebow, QB Florida (Jr.)
Think Alex Smith with talent. Tebow seems like the type who’ll want to stay for all four years, but 2009 projects to be among the worst quarterback drafts in a long, long time making the bulldozing lefty a hot prospect. He has the size, the passing accuracy, the mobility, and the makeup to become a franchise-shaper.
Being the #1 prospect is quite an honor for Timmy. However, he has come out and said several times that he would love to be a Gator for 4 years… meaning he won’t enter the NFL Draft until 2010.
No one knows for sure what Tebow will do after his junior season. A lot of it will come down to how well he performs. He’ll also be listening for advice from his family and coaching staff. Tebow is a very smart person and will make the right move. It wouldn’t at all surprise me if he was able to graduate somehow in 2009, thus accomplishing both his goals.

Here’s what we do know:
1. Tim has admitted that academics take a higher priority than football. I see him picking the college degree over going pro a year early (If both goals collide.)
2. If Tebow were to leave a year early, his junior season will be most important to draft scouts; it is the most recent indication of how he has matured over his football career. If he does badly, he would be well served staying one more year to raise his stock.
3. Tebow’s running in and of itself isn’t bad, but if he continues his stiff-arm style, he may very well play pro football as a tight end, especially on a team with a stable quarterback. Under a scout’s logic, Tebow can take his act to blocking a defender without providing a quarterback controversy, killing two birds with one stone.
4. If Tebow does play quarterback at the next level, he’ll have to alter his style somewhat. Defenses in the NFL are bigger, faster, and hit harder than in college, even the SEC.
5. Tebow’s emotional behavior in pep talks and after games may put him in conflict with coaches on several teams, including the Patriots (”shut up and do your job”), Giants (Tom Coughlin is a notorious taskmaster), and Bill Parcells-led Dolphins. On the flip side, he’d be a great addition for the Cowboys.
I think tim tebow should enter the draft this year because i think he would be a good fit in kansas city if kansas city gets a QB they will be in good shape
As a UF student I would be crushed if Tim left after this year, however I think it might be a good move for him, he’s a great guy and I know he would do great things with an NFL salary. I bet when we crush bama and he has his own SEC title this choice will become much easier for him. GO GATORS! Oh and Tebow should be the new 2-bits, oh yeah you know that’d be awesome
