  Mike Holmgren talks about Tebow
  
  “Clearly, he’s a special young man. I got a chance to visit with him for the first time and I thought he worked very very hard. You can tell he’s trying to make adjustments to his motion. That seems to be what people are fired up about, and he’s working very hard to do that. and it showed today. I thought he had a pretty good workout.
  It appears to be that he’s made some adjustments in a very short period of time, and he’s got good guys working with him. I would say this, though. If you look hard enough at anybody … we can be really pick about stuff. You’ve got to be careful about losing sight of the big picture and what kind of a player he is, what kind of a winner he is and what kind of a person he is. There’s a lot of good about this young man. We’ll see how it goes.
  success as QB: “I’m going to steer clear of that one. I think Tim Tebow is one of those guys you root for, and it’s my opinion if he’s on your football team you have a better football team. I’ll leave it at that.”
  
  on his new mechanics: “I wouldn’t call it dramatic. There are subtle differences, and those of us that know the position a little bit and watch the position and have coached the position, you saw it. You saw he’s worked hard on changing some of his technique, and I root for him. He’s a wonderful young man. I pull for guys like that, and he’s going to make some team very happy.”

  I'd hope Tebow turns them down.
  
  He has to know that he's probably not gonna be drafted in the 1st round, which would make it extremely awkward.

  Since the 1st round is on Thursday, I'm thinking they invited him and others to the 2nd round on Friday.
  At least I hope so for his sake.

  Good point, I forgot about that.
  
  For him I'd still kinda be nervous about being their for the 2nd round, as it's not a guarantee he goes there either.

  Didn't know they were invited 18 instead of 9 this year until the ESPN article.

  If I were him...NO FUCKIN WAY IM GOING.
  
  YOu really wanna sit around all day....waitng...the camera on you as the disappointement looms?

  It would be a little different because Tebow isn't projected to go very high, where as Quinn, Rodgers and some others got their hopes up and then had to sit and wait.
  
  Tebow should realize going in it might not be Top 10 or even Top 20.

  In his case flying to some 3rd world making shit tons of rice patties and delivering babies

  When reading what coaches/gm's say this time of year is like listning to a lawyer.
  or a woman.
  
  You cannot believe an ounce of what they say. Holmgrem may give high marks for Tebow and say good things so maybe another team thinks he will draft him...and can use that for draft picks/trades etc.

  Tim Tebow's career is over... I hope he made enough money in college to last...
