Denver Post writer Woody Paige responded to a question in his mailbag about Tim Tebow’s ability to read defenses. One of the knocks on Tim Tebow coming out of college was that he couldn’t read defenses – that in Florida’s style of offense he never really needed to.

The question:

A good friend of mine is a college football coach who recently went to a clinic held by former Florida Gators offensive coordinator Dan Mullen. He said Tim Tebow is a great leader, a great physical talent, but just can’t process information quickly. That doesn’t sound too good — seeing that the NFL is all about reading defenses and processing information very quickly. Do you have any inside info regarding Tebow’s ability to read defenses at the snap of the ball?
