Florida’s Tebow shows progress despite, though he might have been ‘a little under the weather’

Tebow shows progress on second day of practices

MOBILE, Ala. — Quarterback Tim Tebow showed progress on his second day of Senior Bowl practices even though he might have been “a little under the weather.”

South team coach Tony Sparano of the Miami Dolphins says the former Florida star was a little more comfortable and got the ball out of his hand quicker on Tuesday. Sparano says that improvement shows how smart Tebow is and how quickly he processes information.

Senior Bowl spokesman Kevin McDermond said Tebow “might be a little under the weather,” but added that he doesn’t have strep throat as had been reported. Tebow hasn’t missed any practice time Monday or Tuesday.

Tebow is trying to show NFL teams that he can be a pro quarterback during the week of practices, interviews and meetings leading up to Saturday’s game.
