Denver Broncos Tab Tim Tebow with 25th Selection of the NFL Draft

Former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow (Jacksonville, Fla.) has been selected by the Denver Broncos with the 25th pick of the 2010 NFL Draft. He is the first UF quarterback selected in the draft since Rex Grossman was chosen by the Chicago Bears with the 22nd choice in the 2003 draft.
Florida has tied its school record with three first-round draft picks last night (1989), as Tebow follows Joe Haden (Cleveland, 7th overall) and Maurkice Pouncey (Pittsburgh, 18th overall). He is the 42nd Gator selected in the first round all-time and is the fourth Florida quarterback to be taken in the first round.
“I’m sure Tim and his family are glad the process is over,” said Florida head coach Urban Meyer. “The Denver Broncos are getting a winner. Tim will show on the field what he is capable of doing and more than anything Tim has a competitive fire that will constantly push him to get better and do whatever he can to help his team win.”
