Tim Tebow headed to Broncos after big surprise in NFL draft JACKSONVILLE — It looks like Tim Tebow’s first game as a pro football player will, indeed, be in his hometown of Jacksonville.He’ll be on the visiting sideline.
The Denver Broncos, who chose the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner with the 25th selection overall of the NFL draft on Thursday night, will visit the Jaguars on Sept. 12 on the opening week of the NFL’s regular season.
DRAFT TRACKER: Every pick, every team
ROUND 1 ANALYSIS: How picks fit for their new teams
And the Broncos paid a strong price to get Tebow, giving up a second, third and fourth round draft pick to move up.
“That will be exciting to be honest,” Tebow said of his pro career starting in the area he became a high school legend. “I’m just going to compete, go in there and get some playing time and just get better. Be part of a franchise and a great organization. That’s what I’m excited about.”
Tebow said he wasn’t surprised Jacksonville passed on him.
“I had only met with them one time and it was an interview at the combine,” Tebow said. 
“I hadn’t done a workout for them or had a visit. We hadn’t actually really talked to anybody from the Jaguars from the combine so I didn’t really think that they were that interested.”
Tebow chuckled when asked about his number coming available and said, “If they want me to wear 15, I’ll wear 15.”
That was Tebow’s uniform at UF and just came open when Denver star receiver Brandon Marshall departed for the Miami Dolphins.
A little after 8:30 p.m. Thursday, the hearts of Jaguars football fans collectively skipped a beat when the Buffalo Bills selected C.J. Spiller with the ninth pick of the NFL Draft. But Jacksonville, picking 10th, took Cal defensive tackle Tyson Alualu. Tebow would have been a reach. Alualu may have been just as far of a stretch, however, with the No. 10 selection.
But the Broncos new quarterback seemed thrilled where he landed. Denver has Kyle Orton and Brady Quinn already on the roster.
Tebow said he talked with Gators coach Urban Meyer almost right away and he called his mentor, “Excited.”
Tebow said Broncos coach Josh McDaniels, who called him with the news, was a great fit.
“I’m excited just to pick his brain and go out there and just start grinding,” Tebow said.
The former Florida quarterback said being selected in the first round wasn’t important, but having a team with faith in him was.

Rumors are swirling that after the acquisition of Donovan McNabb by the Washington Redskins that as many as 5 teams are interested in now back-up quarterback and restricted free agent Jason Campbell. Those 5 teams appear to be the Buffalo Bills, Oakland Raiders, Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars, and an unnamed team. While it shouldn’t be too much of a shock there is this much interest in Jason Campbell, it is interesting as to how many quarterbacks the Jaguars have been linked to this offseason. Is it a bit of foreshadowing?
Star-divide
Today I had originally planned to write about how the trades recently made by the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cleveland Browns helped Jacksonville’s chances of either landing Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen or trading down, this certainly changes things. It’s likely nothing happens with Jason Campbell until draft day, as a couple of the teams interested have a shot at draft a quarterback early. There is a nice situation that could occur for the Jaguars however, if their interest is serious.
The first question you have to ask when looking at their interest in Jason Campbell is; Is he better than David Garrard?
I don’t think you can give anything more than a “maybe”. Sure, if you were to just ask people and not show them the numbers, most would say absolutely lot. I like to look into the numbers, though. We’ll compare the last two seasons of Jason Campbell and David Garrard and see just how far apart they are. I understand that in 2007 Garrard would dwarf Campbell, but 2007 was essentially Campbell’s first full-time season starting.

Eric Wood Injury
Eric Wood Injury, Bills rookie offensive lineman Eric Wood suffered an ugly injury in the third quarter of Buffalo’s 18-15 loss to Jacksonville. The injury was so bad, in fact, that CBS opted not to show any replays of the play because it was too gruesome.
Wood was rolled up on during a Buffalo pass play, and his left leg bent at an extremely unnatural angle. According to the Bills, Wood fractured both his tibia and fibula, and stayed in Jacksonville to have immediate season-ending surgery. The injury was easily one of the worst in the NFL this season and could wind up keeping Wood out of the lineup for much longer than the final six weeks of 2009. Courtesy nfl.fanhouse.com
