Denver Broncos draft Tim Tebow to lead their pre-game prayer

In the most shocking move in the 1st round of the NFL draft, the Denver Broncos selected QB Tim Tebow with the 25th pick. While most experts believe Tebow will not be able to transition into a QB role in the NFL, Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said that he drafted him with only one role in mind – pre-game prayer leader.

Experts believe Tebow can be a fine H-back or even a terrific special teamer. But McDaniels doesn’t envision any of those roles for the player that he has staked his coaching reputation on. And he feels that his place is in front of the team right before they march out onto the field.

“He is our pre-game prayer leader,” McDaniels said Saturday afternoon after wrapping up his second draft as Denver’s coach. “With his love for Christ and those scriptures tattooed to his cheek”, breaking into a chuckle, “there is no other role that I can see him in. I wouldn’t have traded those three picks to Baltimore if I didn’t have confidence in him. And plus, as our pre-game prayer leader, his hilarious throwing motion will have no effect on Broncos’ games.”

McDaniels and Tebow will begin the process of making the Gators legend into an NFL-quality pre-game prayer leader next week in a rookie-only minicamp.

McDaniels did say that Tebow would be competing for the job that is currently owned by Chaplain Bill Rader.

“Like everybody, he will be competing for a job,” McDaniels said. “Chaplain Rader has been with this organization for years but if Tim earns the job, he will pray. And that goes for any position with this team. That’s just how it is. He has a long way to go to get to where he wants to be. But he is starting the process well. He has already begun studying his prayer playbook.”

Broncos QB, Brady Quinn, said that he hopes he can be someone Tebow looks up to.

“I wish my teammate nothing but success for his career. And I plan on helping him out by having him shadow me during training camp. On the field throwing the football and at night on the town with the ladies. Because, let’s be honest, this prick needs to get laid.”
