Tim Tebow is a step closer to making the Philadelphia Eagles roster. Several reports have revealed that the quarterback has improved his throwing skills tremendously which could give an edge come training camp.
The NFL training camps are scheduled to start in a few weeks and players are expected to bring their A-game to the field. Including Tebow.
Many have questioned the athlete's capability as a quarterback, believing that the former Heisman Trophy winner's throwing skills are sub-par and not fit for pro football. However, a recent video published by USA Today shows that the 6'3 athlete has improved his throws.
"Tebow's improved throwing motion is looking good," Fox Sports described Timmy's new throwing technique.
The QB's training coach and former MLB pitcher, Tom House, has also confirmed this headline. House has been working on Tebow's throw for over two years now, and according to him Tim has definitely improved.
"He's made a lot of progress...He's probably right in the middle of the pack as far as NFL quarterback mechanical efficiency. He's in the top 60," the former pro baseball player told USA Today.
"He's not one-dimensional anymore, so I think he's done a great job."
While it's too early to tell if Tebow will make the Philadelphia Eagles' 52-man roster, this new bit gives hope to the athlete's fans. Tebowmania 2.0 may still happen.
Tebow also reveals that he feels good about his chances, revealing that he is trying to learn and get better.
"I don't feel like I'm the same player from a passing standpoint and a mechanics standpoint," Tebow told USA Today.
