An unstoppable force meets an immovable object

            Tim Tebow is college football’s golden boy. With 2 “National Championships” and a Heisman at the prestigious University of Florida, Tim Tebow is the model football player, and also a model citizen. He is one of the best leaders in the game and does so simply with his work ethic and his will to extend the play and fight for the extra yard. Despite the fact that he doesn’t play in a pro style offense, many scouts, including me, have high hopes for his NFL career because of his ability to extend the play, lead a team, fight for the extra yard, and all around will his team to victory.

 

            Any one who has ever seen Eric Berry play and can produce coherent thoughts has said that there is just something about him, that he’s a natural football player. Starting since week 1 of his freshman year, Berry has 12 picks, 3 returned for touchdowns, in just over 2 seasons at age 20 years old. He has that Ed Reed esque instinct and Ed Reed esque ability to make a play on the ball. He is only about 190 pounds, but he hits like a linebacker. There is simply nothing he does wrong. He has the ability to go in the top 5 in the 2010 NFL draft, something extremely rare for junior safety.

 

            When #1 Florida plays conference rival Tennessee this week, more of the focus will be on the growing feud between Florida coach Urban Meyer and Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin. However, more of the focus should be on the matchup between safety Eric Berry and quarterback Tim Tebow. Tebow and Berry are probably my two favorite college players. Berry gobbles up quarterback’s throws for breakfast with his natural football instincts. Tebow destroys defenses with his natural instincts. Both are incredibly talented and seem to be able to do no wrong. Something has to give. We’ll see what does. In my opinion, this is the best matchup in College Football this week.
