The Jacksonville Jaguars might help Tim Tebow make a comeback, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The 2010 first-round pick is interested in making a transition to tight end at 33 years old — after failing at quarterback … and, after that, struggling as a minor league baseball prospect.
No, we didn’t get duped by a fake account. This is, apparently, very real.
Tebow surely used his connection with coach Urban Meyer to get a workout with Jacksonville. Meyer coached Tebow at Florida, where the QB won two BCS national championships. They also live on the same street.
But it’s a little wild to think Tebow could make the transition. Then again, it’s Tebow. So somehow, anything seems possible.
Here’s the news.
Update on a former first-round pick: Tim Tebow recently worked out for the #Jaguars, source said, and there has been at least some discussion of him signing. Oh, and he’s a tight end now.

Tim Tebow recently reached out to the Jaguars and requested a tryout at the tight end position, per sources, a move many believe would have extended his NFL career had he made the transition earlier. He recently worked out with the Jaguars’ TE coach. No decision has been made.
