Tim Tebow To Play In Senior Bowl

Tim Tebow WILL play in the Senior Bowl at the end of the month, according to an ESPN.com report.

This is a bit of a surprise to me -- but certainly consistent with what Tebow has been saying that he won't duck the chance to perform in front of NFL coaches.

I say: Bring it on. He instantly becomes the biggest story of the game in Mobile.

Tebow will be under intense scrutiny, but he will also get a ton of credit for actually playing in the game, not shying away.

(UPDATE: Per Andreu in the Sun, Tebow will play for the South team, which will be coached by the Miami Dolphins coaching staff. I'm sure Tebow wants to play in "pro-style" sets, but if it's the Dolphins coaches, you can be sure they will line him up in some variation of the Wildcat.)
