2013
The New England Patriots signed Tebow on June 10, 2013. Tebow signed a two-year contract with no guaranteed money, although it did have playing time-based incentives in 2014. Tebow played in the first two of New England’s preseason games, against the Eagles and the Buccaneers and complete five passes in both games, was sacked several times and intercepted once, intensifying criticism of his football acumen. He went 6-for-11 for 91 yards, throwing a pair of touchdown passes and one interception, and gained 30 yards on six carries against the New York Giants, but was sacked four times. He threw a total of two touchdown passes and two interceptions in the preseason and had a passer rating of 47.2 and completed 36.7% of his passes. He was released from the Patriots on Aug. 31.
