Jaguars should have signed Tim Tebow a decade ago, but not NOW!!! | Commentary
The shame of it is that the Jacksonville Jaguars should have hired Urban Meyer and signed Tim Tebow more than decade ago when it made complete sense.
In fact, when I heard a couple of days ago that the 33-year-old Tebow had tried out as a tight end for his hometown team (the Jags) and his old college coach (Meyer), I went back through the Sentinel archives and dug up a column I wrote before the NFL Draft in 2011. The headline: “Meyer, Tebow would be Jags’ salvation.”
Tebow had just finished his phenomenal college career with the Florida Gators and Meyer, who had suddenly just resigned and unresigned as the head coach of UF, was obviously having second thoughts about remaining in Gainesville.
