#Jaguars’ Tim Tebow is going viral for all the wrong reasons
“#Jaguars’ Tim Tebow is going viral for all the wrong reasons”
Perhaps Tim Tebow should just block out his return to the football field all together.
In his first NFL game since the 2015 preseason, Tebow was barely noticeable on the field — until he went viral for botching a routine block.
During a running play in Jacksonville’s 23-13 loss to the Browns on Saturday, Tebow fell after flinging his body against a defender, and then proceeded to run into his teammate upon getting up.
After years as a quarterback, the former Heisman Trophy winner is trying to make it as a tight end with Urban Meyer’s Jaguars.
“It’s an uphill battle,” Jaguars offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell told USA Today regarding Tebow’s chances of making the team. “He’s learning a brand new position. But if you’ve ever been around that guy — I’ve only been around him for a few months — you won’t see a guy who prepares, trains and puts more into it than him.
“He’s put in hours upon hours. To be where he is right now, on the field in an NFL training camp, I think speaks a lot to his commitment.”
Tebow, who turned 34 Saturday, appeared in Saturday’s box score just once, credited with one target in the fourth quarter when he got his hand on a pass that was tipped at the line of scrimmage.
Following an illustrious college career as the quarterback for Florida under Meyer, Tebow was drafted with the 25th-overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.
Tebow last appeared in an NFL regular-season game in 2012 with the Jets, for whom he started two games. After his football career flamed out in 2015, he spent the next five years toiling as an outfielder in the Mets’ minor league system.
