Tim Tebow has not played a regular season game since 2012, when he played for the New York Jets. Tebow signed with the New England Patriots in 2013 but was ultimately released in training camp.
“Tebow isn’t a bad player. He gets scrutinized for every mistake he makes, but there are some quarterbacks that are worse than him that have starting jobs,” senior Mike Osenbach said.
Recently Tebow has made the headlines again. He worked out with the Philadelphia Eagles, who seem to be interested in just about everyone.
“The Eagles are making a ton of crazy trades and signings in a sport that doesn’t really have that many trades. This just ads to the pandemonium of their offseason,” Osenbach said.
Shortly after the workout session, rumors started to swirl that the Eagles were going make an offer for Tebow. The Eagles quickly dismissed all rumors regarding that matter and said they were just “working him out”.
“I’m a huge Tebow fan, I’ve loved the guy since he was a Florida Gator way back in college. I was pretty excited for him when he took the Denver Broncos to the playoffs and had all those fourth quarter comebacks,” senior Tyler Emge said.
Eventually, the Eagles did go on to sign the free agent quarterback. They signed him to a one-year, three million dollar deal. None of the money in the contract is guaranteed.
“I’m glad the Eagles are giving him another chance. He apparently became a much better thrower, and I’m hoping he’ll be able to prove that he belongs in the NFL,” Emge said.
