Playing quarterback in the NFL is Tim Tebow‘s dream. In fact, it’s what the University of Florida standout has wanted to do since he was a little kid. But that doesn’t mean he’s too selfish to realize he might be able to help a pro team in other ways.

Texans general manager Rick Smith didn’t sound against signing RB LaDainian Tomlinson on Friday. In fact, the team is “entertaining the idea,” he said.

New Browns president Mike Holmgren has a big question to answer: Will Derek Anderson or Brady Quinn be the team’s starting QB?

Arkansas’ Mitch Petrus put on the biggest show on the bench press Friday, tying a combine record (since 2000) with 45 repetitions.

With five of the top-rated quarterbacks at the NFL Scouting Combine choosing not to participate in throwing drills for various reasons, the door is open for other signal-callers to make names for themselves.

Buffalo’s cold-weather reputation apparently froze any chance the Bills had at hiring Mike Shanahan.

At some point during Brad Childress’ media session Friday at the combine — the details are slightly fuzzy — things took a strange, hard turn.

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Friday that the team will tender an offer to restricted free-agent QB Jason Campbell. The move allows the Redskins to receive compensation if another team signs Campbell and they choose not to match the deal.
