Tebow at the center of UF Pro Day

For those who would like to see Tim Tebow perform one more time in The Swamp, this is your chance.

Tebow and more than a dozen other former Florida football players will be working out for NFL coaches and scouts today at UF's annual Pro Day. Unlike past Pro Days, UF has announced that the public is invited to attend. Even the concession stands will be open. The players are expected to be on the field starting at around 10 a.m.

Tebow, who will be revealing his new, tighter throwing motion, probably will draw a crowd. He always does.

This is a big day for Tebow, whose throwing mechanics have been much scrutinized (and criticized) since his performance at the Senior Bowl on Jan. 30. Acknowledging that he needs to improve his throwing motion, Tebow has been working out in Nashville with former NFL quarterback Zeke Bratkowski and former NFL quarterback coach Marc Trestman.

Tebow has been working on his new throwing motion for more than a month now. He declined to throw at the NFL Combine in February, saying he was going to wait until Pro Day to reveal his new delivery.

Pro Day is just as big for the other former Gators who will be working out, especially cornerback Joe Haden, who is projected to be a first-round selection. Haden had a poor time in the 40-yard dash (4.6) at the Combine and will be running today with the expectation of dramatically improving it.
