Perhaps one of the most talked about players in the upcoming draft is Florida quarterback Tim Tebow. Everywhere you look, Tebowmania is running wild and the media can’t seem to get enough.

The Heisman Trophy winner has received an invitation to attend the NFL Draft in New York despite being looked at as a second or third-round prospect. The league knows he is a ratings magnet and the intrigue of where Florida’s superman could end up will cause people to tune in.

One possible landing spot for Tebow is the New England Patriots. According to a report on the Boston Globe, Tebow has set up a visit with the Patriots as well as the Browns, Seahawks, Redskins and Bills.

"“According to my old colleague Matt Hayes of the Sporting News, the Patriots are among five teams that have private workouts set up with Florida QB Tim Tebow.Hayes has been around the Gator program for quite some time, so it’s worth noting he also had the Browns, Seahawks, Redskins and Bills set to put Tebow through the paces. The Tebow camp has been pretty tight-lipped on specifying what teams are sniffing around the quarterback.While most of the public returns on Tebow’s Pro Day were overwhelmingly positive, and the improvements he’s made over the last six weeks are certainly impressive, most scouts there will tell you that Tebow remains what he has been. An on-field enigma. Wrote about that today.”"

Tebow has been working on improving his release and has shown some incredible progress. The improvement that Tebow has shown in such a short time, as well as his eagerness to compete and be the best version of himself he can be, has really interested NFL scouts.

While he has improved greatly, Tebow is still a work in progress and could use a solid two or three years in the NFL as a back-up before he takes over as the starter for a team. Teams like Indianapolis and New England would be ideal situations for Tebow, so he could take the time to develop and not feel the pressure of having to put up wins immediately.
