The highest-profile college football player in recent history can now begin his professional career.
Denver Broncos first-round draft pick Tim Tebow has signed with the team.
Tebow, the Heisman Trophy-winning Florida quarterback, will now head to training camp in a competition with incumbent starter Kyle Orton and backup Brady Quinn.
Tebow is unlikely to win that competition in camp, but he’ll almost certainly get on the field in certain offensive packages, and the Broncos see him eventually becoming their franchise quarterback.
