Rex Ryan Says Jets Knew Tim Tebow Wasn’t a Quarterback When They Traded For Him

Tim Tebow earned 14 starts in his first two years with the Broncos, leading Denver to the AFC Divisional Round in 2011. But after being jettisoned from the Mile High City after two seasons, the former Heisman winner's plan to play quarterback at the pro level quickly dissipated.

The Jets traded for Tebow prior to the 2012 offseason and quickly installed him as a wildcat quarterback. But the Tebow experiment wasn't a perfect fit.

Former Jets head coach Rex Ryan spoke to The MMQB's Tim Rohan for a story about how Ryan’s former special teams coach Mike Westhoff has used Taysom Hill this season in New Orleans.
