MOBILE, Ala. - All the coaching Tim Tebow is receiving from the Miami Dolphins offensive staff this week appears to be kicking in. The former Florida quarterback was smooth and efficient running the South offense Thursday, especially when he was put in a competitive situation leading the two-minute drills.
In the two-minute, Tebow took the offense right down the field, opening the possession with a 25-yard pass in the flat to former UF teammate and roommate Riley Cooper. Tebow followed with three consecutive completions. He was extremely sharp throwing the ball.
"It was a good day, coming out here and working in the two-minute, and some different things," Tebow said. "I really enjoyed that. I'm feeling comfortable with the offense. I'm getting more comfortable with the receivers. It felt good."
Tebow has been the most scrutinized player at the Senior Bowl this week. And the NFL coaches and scouts aren't the only ones following his every move.
Chase Heavener, the son of prominent UF booster Bill Heavener (his name is on the new football complex), is getting it all on tape for a documentary he is producing on Tebow. The documentary will follow Tebow from the end of the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1 through his first game in the NFL.
Heavener, 30, is based in Winter Park. He said Tebow is giving him excellent access.
"I'm basically living with the guy right now. It's cool," Heavener said. "There are so many stories within a story in this. It's crazy. We're having a good time.
"Tim is who he says he is 100 percent. He's a really down-to-earth, mellow guy. It's fun hanging out with him."
Heavener said there is no timetable for the release of his film.
