Tim Tebow 's latest visit to Florida Field looked like most of the others. He was cheered, revered and pulled in every direction.
This time, though, it wasn't just screaming fans gushing over the former Heisman Trophy winner.
Tebow was the star attraction at Florida's pro day Wednesday, receiving rave reviews from NFL scouts, coaches and general managers after he unveiled his new, compact throwing motion.
The bulky left-hander threw dozens of passes to former teammates Riley Cooper , Aaron Hernandez and David Nelson during a 30-minute workout.
"He had a very, very good workout," Carolina Panthers coach John Fox said. "He doesn't lack in the work ethic department, so whatever needs to be done, he'll do. I definitely saw some adjustment and I thought he executed very well."
In addition to Fox, others on hand were Cleveland Browns coach Eric Mangini and president Mike Holmgren , Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin , New York Giants coach Tom Coughlin and Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Raheem Morris . So was Jacksonville Jaguars general manager Gene Smith .
- With a whistle around his neck and a smile on his face, Florida coach Urban Meyer returned to practice following a leave of absence that turned out to be shorter than everyone expected.
His stay could be longer than anticipated, too.
Although Meyer declined to divulge any details about his health, he said his return was permanent.
"I feel fine and I feel good," Meyer said following a practice that lasted nearly three hours.
