Gruden: Tebow is 'strongest human being who's ever played' QB
If Jon Gruden is coaching a team at this time next season, there's a good chance he'll have Florida QB Tim Tebow rated highly on his draft board.
Consider Gruden's reaction after Tebow took the blame for Florida's lone loss last season (from the Orlando Sentinel).
Gruden says the spread offense can work in the NFL, and Tebow would be the perfect pioneer for the project according to the coach.
"This guy here is 250 pounds of concrete cyanide, man. And he can throw," Gruden said. "He throws well enough at any level to play quarterback."

"What he said after the Ole Miss game, I said, 'That's my favorite football player I've ever seen in my whole life.' I said, 'I want Florida to win every game that kid plays from now on.' "
More praise from Gruden for Tebow:
"He's the strongest human being who's ever played the position. Ever. He will kick the living [expletive] out of a defensive lineman. He'll fight anybody. He is rare. Tebow is the kind of guy who could revolutionize the game."
Gruden, fired last month by the Bucs, is now holed up inside the St. Pete Times Forum, home to the AFL's Tampa Bay Storm. The team has given Gruden an office where he's continuing to toil breaking down film. And he's embarking on a new project -- learning the spread offense.
