Agent: Ailing Tebow was hospitalized
With a lot of questions to answer about his delivery and mechanics, not to mention learning to take snaps under center, the Senior Bowl was going to be tough enough for University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow. But he's also sick. According to Tebow's agent, Jimmy Sexton, Tebow was hospitalized Monday night getting treatment for strep throat. "He's been sick for two days," Sexton said following Tuesday afternoon's practice. "He had a 103 temperature." Tebow botched one center exchange during 11-on-11 drills. He threw a couple of near interceptions late in practice, but made some nice throws on the move, rolling to his left. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)Comment
