Despite all of the pro scouts and draft experts who are questioning Tim Tebow’s ability to play at the next level, Bill Belichick thinks Tebow could be a very good quarterback in the NFL. In fact, he and the New England Patriots are even considering drafting Tebow in April.

Reporters talked to Belichick at the NFL Owners Meeting and he spoke very highly of Tebow saying, “He had a great career. I think he was outstanding.” Belichick finished his praise by stating, “There are a lot of positives.”

When asked about the questions concerning Tim Tebow’s throwing ability, Belichick responded by saying, “They all need work. Some guys are more coachable than others. Some guys have different things they need to correct, whatever the technique or physical development happens to be. I don’t think that’s unusual.”

Belichick wasn’t done there though as he also said, “Tiger Woods has rebuilt his golf swing twice. Every quarterback I’ve coached has worked on his mechanics and improved them. Phil Simms, (Jeff) Hostetler, Brady….I can’t think of too many that haven’t. It’s part of every player’s development.”

Considering how Belichick is so high on Tebow and the fact that he has already scheduled him for a private workout before the draft, there is speculation that the New England Patriots could be looking to pick him. Now this isn’t a certainty like making money by playing Texas hold em free, but the Patriots have been looking for a serviceable backup to play behind Tom Brady. And if their plan to get Chad Pennington before he re-signs with the Miami Dolphins doesn’t work, Tebow might be the perfect fit.

If the Patriots want him, there’s a very good chance they could get him considering they have four picks within the first two rounds of the draft. Even if they don’t end up using Tebow at quarterback, he could fit in elsewhere as Belichick eluded to when he said, “My sense of Tim Tebow is, if you asked him to play nose (tackle), he’d play nose. He’s that type of kid. I don’t know what a team would do with him, but he’s a really interesting player.”
