Tim Tebow works out with Jaguars as a tight end, per reports

Hours before he takes his place among the No. 1 overall selections in NFL draft history, Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence appears to have been upstaged.

By another rangy quarterback with strong ties to new Jaguars coach Urban Meyer.

Various media outlets reported Thursday afternoon that Tim Tebow — who won a Heisman Trophy on Meyer’s watch at Florida in 2007 but had a fleeting NFL career — recently worked out for the Jags as a tight end.

The news wasn’t warmly greeted by all. Former Bucs tight end Anthony Becht said on Twitter: “There’s so many real tight ends out there that deserve a chance,” followed by a thumbs-down emoji.
