07:03 AM ET 04.14 | Jon Gruden believes Tim Tebow has the talent to make teams regret leaving him on the draft board. "Somebody with a down-the-road philosophy or vision for him will take him, and take him earlier than some people expect," Gruden said. After working out Tebow, Gruden said he's not surprised by Tebow's ability or knowledge of the game. Tebow already knew the terminology for many NFL offenses before they met, Gruden said. "Nothing really surprises me other than there are a lot more doubters than maybe I expected," Gruden said. "Tim's transition to more of a conventional NFL style has drawn a lot of questions from people, whether he can make the modifications in his passing delivery and adapt to playing under center ... What I'm really impressed with is the way he sits on the edge of his chair and his work ethic and relentlessness to become great is really second to nobody."
