Tim Tebow has rushed for 84 yards over three preseason games and is being labeled a running back by several pundits, including ESPN's Merrill Hoge.

"Well, I will take that as a compliment from him," Tebow said. "I'm a quarterback, first and foremost. However else I can help the team, I will help the team. I think some things are just playing football and I think some things are position-specific." 

Tebow has completed only 38 percent of his passes in the preseason.

But Tony Sparano is seeing progress in Tebow as a passer.

"When I watch the film, I see something a little different than I think most people (who) watch it see," Sparano said. "That's progress to me."
