NFL Quarterbacks ??




The Super Bowl has come and gone... Best wishes
to the New Orleans Saints on a long-time coming
NFL Championship. Now pro football is off until
next August... Right?? Not quite!
This week NFL teams will conduct a scouting
combine to check out the field of college quarterbacks
trying to impress the big boys. This group of
quarterbacks will be a bit difficult to put a label on.
University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has led
his team to a national championship and has a Heisman
Trophy to his credit,...but is he the type quarterback
that can play at the professional level? Coaches want
to know. The same question mark applies to University
of Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford. He too has a
Heisman Trophy, but no national championship. Bradford
passed up going to the pro level last year when he was
assured of being a number one draft pick. Bradford
returned to Norman in hopes of that national title for
the Sooners. Shoulder injuries in the BYU and Texas games
put him out for the season. Now NFL scouts want to know
his progress. And what about University of Texas QB
Colt McCoy? He led the Steers to 45 victories, but everyone
wants to know if he has recovered from the shoulder
injury he suffered in the BCS Title game against Alabama.
McCoy will never have the arm to throw the 60 yard bomb
downfield, but Drew Brees of the Saints just won the Super
Bowl by throwing short passes in the biggest game of the
season. A lot of questions will be answered this week.
