Tebow Improved Jets' Short Yardage Effectiveness 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Jun 11, 2013 5:12 pm

Tim Tebow figures to be used by the New England Patriots in short yardage situations, similar to how he was utilized by the New York Jets last season.


Tebow averaged 2.86 yards per play on 3rd or 4th down with less than five yards to go, while the Jets averaged 2.00 yards per pplay.


Tebow converted every first down when he had less than five yards.


Tom Brady, however, is 18-for-19 in 4th and one sneaks since 2002.
