Should the Jaguars draft Tim Tebow?
Beloved Florida quarterback would sell tickets, but how many?
There's no player in the 15-year history of the Jaguars franchise who's been the subject of as much pre-draft scrutiny as Tim Tebow.
The fact that Tebow played high school football at Nease and had a glittering Heisman Trophy-winning career at Florida has made Tebow the center of speculation over whether the Jaguars should draft him, and the impact he would have on the field and in ticket sales.
Marc Ganis, the founder of Chicago-based Sportscorp Ltd. who has been involved in the development of two dozen stadiums, believes drafting Tebow would only give the Jaguars a spike of about 2,000 to 3,000 season tickets.
And Bob Leffler, the head of the Leffler agency, the largest sports entertainment advertising agency in America with 45 clients, including 27 colleges, thinks Ganis is in the right ballpark. He puts the number of tickets that drafting Tebow would sell at about 2,000.
