Tebow's not that fast

This should come as no shock, but around here in Gainesville people at a little blind about The Savior.

Anyway at the NFL combine in Indy Tim Tebow ran a 4.72 in the 40. That's fast for a lineman, but slow for a RB or WR. To give you a comparison CJ Spiller and Javid Best were 4.37 and 4.35. Jarrett Brown from WVU, who I think is better than folks realize, was the fast QB at 4.54. Some no name receiver pulled a 4.28.

Anyway this just proves what I always said, Timmy was power not speed. Brantley has better straight ahead speed (but less moves and more injuries).

Don't sweat it too much, 40 times are wildly overrated - see my correct prediction from back in the day.

[Actually he did not live up to even my limited expectations. He ended up going 2nd round to the Pats and lasting two years there and one more in Denver before sliding out of the league with 14 career catches. Last I heard the Raiders sniffed around him, but passed - harsh man, they take everyone, even JaHamburger Russell the QB from LSU made that sorry squad.]
