Jaguars expected to sign former QB-turned-TE Tim Tebow to one-year deal
It's a position switch scouts implored the former Denver Broncos first-round quarterback to make more than a decade ago.
After spending two seasons with the Broncos, compiling an 8-6 record as a starting QB, including a string of wild late-game victories, John Elway replaced Tebow with Peyton Manning. The Heisman Trophy winner spent one tabloid-frenzied season with the New York Jets in 2012. He attempted just eight passes, completing six while playing special teams and carrying the ball 32 times for 102 yards, primarily out of the Wildcat. He then spent offseasons with the Patriots (2013) and Eagles (2015), respectively, before washing out of the NFL.
After a media stint, Tebow tried his hand at baseball, spending the past five years in the New York Mets system.
With his former Florida coach, Urban Meyer, taking over in Jacksonville, the Jags will give Tebow a shot to get back into the NFL as a tight end.
The 33-year-old hasn't played in the regular season in nine years and hasn't been in a football training camp since his Philly stint in 2015. To say it's a long shot for Tebow to make the roster is an understatement.
Still, to paraphrase Lloyd Christmas, we're saying there's a chance.
The Jaguars tight end's room is woefully thin. Blocking TE Chris Manhertz sits atop the depth chart, and rookie fifth-rounder Luke Farrell could be in line for a sizable role. James O'Shaughnessy?, Tyler Davis, and Ben Ellefson fill out the TE room. Into that void, Tebow will attempt to reconjure his NFL career.
If Tebow had been willing to make the position switch years and years and years ago, perhaps he wouldn't have been wallowing away on a minor league baseball roster hovering around the Mendoza Line.
Tebow attempting an NFL comeback in 2021 took a confluence of circumstances. Meyer joining the Florida-based club hoping to generate headlines and sell merchandise, along with a glaring need at a position, and the former QB's willingness to finally consider switching positions all coalesced to bring Tebow back to football in 2021.
Now, we'll see if he can win a job.

Best of luck to Tim. The limp wristed MSM will start the assault later.

That’s all it will take for Trevor & Tim to bring a Super Bowl Trophy to Jacksonville.

LOL, I highly doubt this, but will root for them nonetheless.

I thought when he came out of college he would be drafted in the 4th round to play te. Still can’t believe he went in the first to play qb. He could have a nice career playing te if would not have been so stubborn. Kinda late now.

Good PR...hometown team...if he can play on special teams and be a backup TE it'd be worth putting him on the 53 man roster for a season at the league minimum.

And be an emergency 3rd qb. I believe he would add value if he is halfway competent at TE and ST.

He hasn’t played since 2012. That’s a long layoff; especially for a new position. He probably would have been a good TE 10 years ago. But I think this is just a way to get him on the roster so he can help T Law learn Urban’s system.

What an odd choice; aren't there any other national title-winning Gators from the late aughts that they could grab as a TE instead?

Yes, their irrational persecution of poor Tim Tebow truly knows no bounds.

Wet noodles like Dan Wolken are already going full assault bc Tebow’s a white Christian. They hate his guts.
