ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Tim Tebow says he feels he's landed in the perfect place to begin his NFL career, change his throwing mechanics and adjust to being a prototypical pocket passer.

The southpaw shotgun quarterback who helped Florida win two national titles was the surprise No. 25 pick of the Denver Broncos on Thursday night.

Tebow said at his introductory news conference Friday that he'll work tirelessly to repay coach Josh McDaniels.

Tebow declared: "I can't be more thankful for him deciding to take me ... That will be one of my biggest goals is proving him right and making him proud."
