The stories everybody has been talking about from the Senior Bowl week in Alabama, has been Dexter McCluster and Tim Tebow. For those people who are worried about size of McCluster should not worry about a thing. A few years ago everybody was saying the same thing about DeSean Jackson when he was only 168 now look at him, Pro Bowler and big time playmaker. Some so-called "analyst" are predicting him to be a 4th rounder and if that happens a lot of teams will have passed up on something special. At least that he is keeping his options open by classifying himself as a reciever-running back. He wants to run a 4.37 during the combine next month. Two things have jumped out about McCluster – his speed, and his versatility. At running back, he has shown superb acceleration through holes. At wide receiver, he has made acrobatic catches. No matter his weight you can't deny what he done in the SEC at that weight.
On the opposite side of things Tebow has been the talk of things but not in such a great way. ESPN analyst Todd McShay said Tebow did not elevate himself into a top-echelon NFL draft QB prospect at this week's Senior Bowl practices. McShay even argued that Tebow may have hurt his draft stock if NFL talent evaluators consider how far he lags behind his competitors such as Sam Bradford, Tony Pike and Jimmy Clausen. I was shocked by those sayings. I know he is not Peyton Manning but he wins and is a competitor. Look at Farve he is not completely orthodox on everything he does. I mean but Tebow was hospitalized for strep throat. I do not know where Tebow will be taken or at what position but he is a winner no doubt, but I can't see him playing QB on the next level. He is similar to Bush, great college all-star but short of the NFL superstar.
