SI poll: Tim Tebow most overrated
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Tim Tebow's time on the bench has changed the perception of him among his peers.
Five months after being named one of the top 100 players in the NFL, the New York Jets' backup quarterback was voted the most overrated player in the league -- in a landslide -- based on a Sports Illustrated poll released this week.
A total of 180 players voted in the survey, with 34 percent naming Tebow. How's this for a twist? Jets starter Mark Sanchez finished tied for second, receiving 8 percent of the votes. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo also got 8 percent.
At least Tebow can say he's ahead of Sanchez in one category.
Coach Rex Ryan was asked about the poll, and it left him in an unfamiliar position -- almost speechless.
"Wow, what are you going to say?" he said, laughing. "I don't know how to comment on that. I just know I'm happy they're on my football team -- on our football team. Seems like the Jets always get something, you know?"
