In the modern era of college football, a tight end has never won the Heisman Trophy – college football’s most prestigious individual award. But former Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow thinks that could change this year, if the voters evaluate thoroughly.
During a recent interview with Dawg Nation, former Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow made the case that Georgia Bulldogs tight end Brock Bowers should be in contention for the Heisman Trophy this year.
“He’s in the conversion of you look at everything he does and you really don’t just look at stats,” Tebow told DawgNation, “and I encourage all the voters please look at all the plays.”
Tebow thinks that if voters look at the whole body of work for Brock Bowers and not just the receiving stats, the Georgia star is clearly among the best players in college football.
“Please look at the jet sweeps, please look at motions, please look at the way he draws defenders, please look at the way that he’s on slip screens and their eyes are on him and other players get open,” Tebow said, sharing the powers of Bowers that go beyond catch passes,” Tebow said.
“Please look at on third down, and how he drew a couple of guys and now Ladd (McConkey) is one on one,” Tebow said. “Look at When they run a toss sweep and he’s blocking down on the edge defensive end that probably outweighs him by 35 pounds, and he locks his outside edge and runs the number with him and he gives Georgia a 6-yard gain.
“They need to look at all of those plays.”
We’ll have to see if the Heisman voters take Tebow’s advice.
