The Florida Gatos will have the quarterback that led them to a national title back under center next year as Tim Tebow has decided to return for his senior season.
There was speculation he might head to the NFL, especially since he has talked about wanting a bigger platform to share his religious message and expand his community work, but Tebow said he never strongly considered leaving early.
Coach Urban Meyer set him up with several NFL coaches to talk about his pro prospects. Although Tebow said he got mixed feedback, nothing he heard swayed his decision.
“It was tough because some of that stuff is tempting at the next level and everything that goes along with it, especially ending on a great note ending with the national championship and moving on from there,” Tebow said. “I love these guys and coach Meyer and this program too much and I feel we can still end on a bang next year.”
Only Tebow knows if this is the right move or not but from an outsider’s perspective, he made the right decision. This way he’ll get the chance to win another national championship and maybe another Heisman. He’ll also give pro scouts more tape on what position he can eventually play at the next level, whether it be quarterback, H-back or other. He’s certainly a phenomenal athlete, but obviously some NFL scouts are unsure how he fits at the next level.
