Tebowmania peaked a short time ago here at Lucas Oil Stadium, when the Flordia quarterback drew the biggest Scouting Combine audience some veteran onlookers had ever seen.
(Speaking at the same time, Packers coach Mike McCarthy had a sparse audience in attendance.)
While most NFL types have praised Tebow all week, Browns grand poobah Mike Holmgren threw a dose of reality into the mix.
Asked about Tebow changing his throwing motion, Holmgren said, “That’s the most difficult thing to change in any quarterback. . . . It’s hard to do, particularly in pressure situations.”
Tebow seemed to have fun with all the attention, but tried to downplay the changes.
“I am holding the ball higher and not dropping [my elbow]. My release point of where I’m throwing the ball is not different at all,” Tebow said. “It’s how I got to that [point] that you would see the change.
Tebow also said he’d be open to helping a team at any position if he’s not a viable quarterback, which is a valuable piece of information to know in case Holmgren’s words prove correct.
