This is the first in a weekly series detailing the top senior prospects, by position, for the 2010NFL Draft. Here are the top 12 senior quarterback prospects NFL scouts will be keeping a close eye on this fall. 1. Tim Tebow College: Florida Height/Weight: 6-3, 245 Tebow will be a third-year starter in 2009. He has thrown 67 touchdown passes and only 11 interceptions in the past three years. He will have a new quarterback coach this year, Scott Loeffler, who came from the NFL. Tebow should be a top-10 pick in the 2010 draft. 2. Colt McCoy College: Texas Height/Weight: 6-2½, 215 McCoy completed 77 percent of his passes in 2008 for 34 touchdowns and only eight interceptions. He has above average running ability. He is a five-year player who has gotten a lot stronger since coming to Texas. McCoy has been well coached by Texas offensive coordinator Greg Davis. He will be a top-10 pick as a quarterback in the 2010 draft. 3. Dan LeFevour College: Central Michigan Height/Weight: 6-3, 230 LeFevour will be a four-year starter and is only the second quarterback to pass for 3,000 yards and run for 1,000 more in NCAA Div. I history (former Texas QB Vince Young was the first). He is a fifth-year player. 4. Jarrett Brown College: West Virginia Height/Weight: 6-2½, 228 Brown is a fifth-year player who had been in a backup role behind Pat White. He has a very strong arm and good athletic ability. He played on the Mountaineers basketball team in 2008. He is a risk/reward-type player. 5. Tim Hiller College: Western Michigan Height/Weight: 6-4, 230 Hiller started five games in 2005 as a true freshman. He missed the 2006 season due to injury. He is a 4.0 student and went to the same Ohio high school (Orrville) as Bob Knight. He has 76 touchdown passes in his career. 6. Zac Robinson College: Oklahoma State Height/Weight: 6-3, 220 Robinson threw 25 touchdown passes and only 10 interceptions in 2008 and set a school record for total yards in 2007.

Tony Pike College: Cincinnati Height/Weight: 6-5½, 210 Pike didn't play a lot until 2005 -- had some up-and-down games and finished the season throwing four interceptions vs. Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl. He does have upside, but will need to show more consistency. 8. Isiah "Juice" Williams College: Illinois Height/Weight: 6-1¼, 235 Williams had 3,892 total yards in 2008. He is the best quarterback in the Big Ten, but he needs to become a better passer. He had 22 touchdown passes and 16 interceptions last season. 9. John Skelton College: Fordham Height/Weight: 6-5, 245 Skelton has started three years in a non-scholarship program (Patriot League). He has a good arm and upside, and seems to have the ability to compete for a spot at the next level. 10.
