Tebow will play in the NFL. For a long time.

Illini · Dec 10, 2007

The first time I ever saw this kid play, I said that it was a lock for him to win the Heisman. Didn't think it would be in his sophomore year, but he's about the best college player I've ever seen.

It may or may not be at QB. I still think he has a good shot to make it as a QB. But line him up at tight end if you have to.....this kid will be a great player at the next level.

I don't know why everyone is so quick to criticize him and say that he has no future after college. You just can't teach what he does.

He just finished up his second year of college football and first year as a full time starter. He may not even wake up tomorrow morning. That isn't guaranteed to anyone.

Illini · Dec 10, 2007

Ummm.....what?

The_Man · Dec 10, 2007

is he any good at runnin precision routes, blocking, catching the rock?

rayray · Dec 10, 2007

i c him doing the same thing that matt jones does. he could play qb if everyone else was hurt but i just dont see him being drafted as a qb. maybe fullback or something

Illini, You are Correct, Sir! I see you guys got a committment from a Jax kid that UF really wanted. Will I be seeing you at The Rose Bowl this year? Go Gators. LT:toast: :103631605

Let me know when he wins 2 Rose Bowl MVPS and beats the greatest team ever by himself.

Illini, I respect your postings on here, but how quickly we forget VY. Everyone is impressed because of rushing TDs but when Moody steps in they will disappear.

Man, if Vince Young can play in the NFL, Tebow is going to be a superstar. Tebow can actually hit the broad side of a barn from 20 yards.

I believe he his talking about the best CFB player. Forget the NFL. Hershcel was not the Herschel we all expected in the NFL.

jjgold · Dec 10, 2007

Tebow is what colege football and the Heisman really stand for. I think their is a place for him in NFL.

jwunderdog · Dec 10, 2007

illini,

I know this is way off topic, but my kid is a big illni fan and wants a #5 illini football jersey. Do they make them,I can't find them any where?

jwblue · Dec 10, 2007

I heard a person in the know say that he will barely be a pro prospect at the quarterback position.

whyguy223 · Dec 10, 2007

he will at best be a tight end or specail teams guy, not a qb! he will not go high in the draft either, late first round or 2nd round!

paftraft · Dec 10, 2007

I think he could start with half the teams in the NFL write now. He had the second highest QB passing rating in the country this year, thats not a bad prerequisite for playing QB in the NFL. Hard to sack, good football sense, good arm, natural leader, strong arm. What's not to like about him as NFL QB? Probably a better chance for him to be a great NFL QB than a bust!

Samhain · Dec 10, 2007

He'll be an excellent tight end. QB I doubt it.

There are Illini fans in England? Sweet. I'd like to hear the story behind that.

I looked on fightingillini.com and didn't see any. I'll see what I can do when I go to the mall later this week to do some Christmas shopping.

who cares about college? vy better improve or he will not justify being 3rd in the draft.

College football, not the NFL. What did Peyton win at UT, nothing. VY is terrible in the NFL and I said he would suck, he can't throw. The college game is barely the same sport.
