Though a certain high-profile quarterback with a five-letter last name won’t be playing on Thursday night in Minnesota, another high-profile quarterback with a five-letter last name will be playing. A lot.
Broncos tackle Ryan Harris says that the Vikings will be getting “a full dose of Tebow” in the preseason finale, according to Charley Walters of the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
Harris, who said that the rookie first-rounder will be playing “a lot,” gushed about his new teammate.
“He’s a gamer, man,” Harris said, per Walters. “You can see why he was successful in college. And he’s a very good guy -- what you see is what you get. He’s as true as you see on TV. That’s how he is every day.”
The game begins tonight at 8:00 p.m. ET.
All 32 teams will be playing in contests that kickoff as early as 6:30 p.m. ET and as late as 10:00 p.m. ET. And while most starters won’t be playing at all, each team has to get down to 53 players by Saturday. Most teams current have 75. Thus, with nearly one of every three players on every team destined to be cut, the final preseason game is as important as the Super Bowl for plenty of guys.
