Tim Tebow is using this offseason to stay relevant in Denver's quarterback race and perhaps emerge as the starter. "Well, I believe this offseason has been great," Tebow said on Atlanta's WQXI-AM. "Just working extremely hard, on the grind pretty much all offseason. I haven't taken a break. I've been working a lot on my drops from under center, I haven't done any shotgun stuff all offseason. Everything's just been under center -- straight drops, play-action fakes, straight drops, fives, sevens -- just working on all the throws. "Accuracy and precision with my passes has been the No. 1 thing that I've worked on all offseason, and I believe that I've improved that a lot." Tebow accepts that no matter what he does, some just aren't fans of the mania surrounding a player who passed for 654 yards and five touchdowns as a rookie last season. "I definitely understand that, and people are entitled to their own opinion," Tebow said. "I just try -- when I meet someone, or when I come in contact with someone -- to always leave a better impression than before I got there. Honestly, that's something that drives me because I want to be genuine, I want to be real, I want to tell people, 'Listen, I’m trying to do it the right way, I'm trying to go out there and reach my goals, but you know what? I stumble, I make mistakes, I'm not perfect.' "
