On the haircut, which Tebow said he gladly accepted to “build chemistry.”

Say this for Tim Tebow: For all the big-money endorsement deals and status as a first-round draft pick, he’s no prima donna.

Tebow proved that Saturday when he submitted to the traditional rookie ritual of receiving a ridiculous haircut from the team’s veterans.

“I just took it, tried to be a good sport with it,” Tebow said. “It was fun, you know? I think all the rookies had a good time with it.”

On his performance before a big home crowd at practice:

Perhaps it was a strategic move on coach Josh McDaniels’ part, or maybe it was just a present to the Tebowmaniacs, but Tebow received significantly more action in this two-hour practice at the team’s home stadium than he has in normal practices at the team facility.

And the rookie first-round draft pick did not disappoint. He threw for a touchdown to fellow first-round pick Demaryius Thomas in a live team drill, and a few minutes later rushed for a touchdown.

On the challenge of changing his throwing motion:

The Broncos put Tebow through a series of drills in the offseason. They had him keep a towel pinned against his body under his right — nonthrowing — elbow to keep his body in the proper alignment so his release point would be a little higher.
