QB Tebow is making adjustment for NFL future

Although the University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow won a Heisman Trophy and two national championships, he has not been considered to be a polished pro style quarterback, and his slow windup and release drew heavy criticism. Therefore, he decides to overhaul the way he throws ball so that he could impress NFL teams to get chance playing pro football in NFL jerseys.

"I’m not changing who I am or how I approach football," Tebow told ESPN. "But there are things that I can get a lot better at—my fundamentals. I’ve never been asked to shorten or quicken my release and not have a loop in it. The changes I’m making have gone very well and it’s becoming more and more natural to me. I want to get better. I want to be around people who will push me. I will do anything to get better. Without hearing the criticism, I would have done it. It’s made me more confident, more accurate. And that’s not to say I haven’t had this type of coaching in the past. I just have had different coaching than this NFL style."

Tebow is not going to throw at the NFL scouting combine but is working with coaches Zeke Bradkowski, Marc Trestman, Noel Mazzone and Sam Wyche to adjust to higher level before his Pro Day workout. Hope his changes will be the right ones to bring him success.
