Tebow-Supremo

With the first overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams select... Heading into this year's NFL Draft, it was a no brainer Oklahoma QB and 2008 Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford was heading to St. Louis as the number one pick. In need of a quarterback to help turn the franchise around, anyone other than Bradford would be mind boggling. What wasn't known in the draft however, was where and when 2-time BCS champion Tim Tebow was going to be taken, which soon became the talk of the draft. With the 25th overall pick in the first round, the Denver Broncos not only took a chance on Tebow, but they also made the decision to take him over Notre Dame's Jimmy Claussen and Texas' Colt McCoy. Something no one seen coming.

Regarded as one of the best college quarterbacks of all-time, Tebow was one of the bigger stories coming into the draft, but he also turned out to be one of the bigger surprises as well by being selected as early as he was. A 25th pick in the first round was something no analyst had expected. In fact, many projected him to be a late 2nd round pick if not selected in the 3rd. Instead he lands to a franchise who's been in need of a leader since trading away their 2008 Pro Bowl QB Jay Cutler to Chicago in the 2009 offseason. And if you were to look up the word 'leader' in the dictionary, you would be greeted by a picture of none other than Mr. Tebow himself. After getting rid of Cutler last season and Brandon Marshall just weeks ago, Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels adds another question mark to his resume by targeting the highly doubted Florida QB. All of which has become part of a very questionable master plan by the young coach.

Although starting his rookie season is unlikely, Tebow will be competing alongside Kyle Orton and newly acquired Brady Quinn for the starting job. With someone who's as positive and good spirited as Tim Tebow is, it's hard to root against him. Which is why I wish nothing but the best for him and his career in the NFL. And if the fans of the home team couldn't jump on the bandwagon of their newest member any sooner, they did so by making his jersey the fastest-selling rookie jersey of all-time. Tebow's blue and orange Broncos jersey which somewhat resembles the same colors he donned with the Gators for 4 successful seasons, surpasses the previous record set by Mark Sanchez' Jets uni just a season ago. With his new throwing motion and mechanics, it'll be interesting to see how Tim Tebow adjusts to the NFL. Something many don't think he can do.
