By Kevin Aherne (@kaherne17) Today was cut down Saturday in the NFL, the day where each team is required to get their rosters under the 53-man threshold. And today, two big names were added to the list of players who will be seeking new employment. Both of these players are former NCAA Champions, and both own Heisman Trophies. However, the release of neither Tim Tebow nor Vince Young came as a surprise.
Both of these quarterbacks have a great deal of skill, and both were once believed to be the "next big thing," but neither have shown the ability to perform at a high level in the NFL. Vince Young seems to lack the mental strength to cope with the pressures that come with running a professional offense, and Tim Tebow seems to lack the physical skills to conform with a pro-style offense. We may have seen the final straws in both of these former champions' career. |
