This could be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it.
Pro Football Zone has the quote.
“Everything that I’ve learned at this position in this league has been from Mark,” McElroy said, in comments distributed by the Jets’ PR staff, via ProFootballTalk.com. “He’s the guy that I’ve seen every day. Every day that I’ve been an NFL player, I’ve been looking up to him. I’ve been observing him and trying to follow after his lead. I’ve been watching him. I understand how to play this game because of him.”
Notice he didn’t mention anything about what Tebow taught him.
