Chip Kelly: QB Tim Tebow pushing for a roster spot, 'will compete'

Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly said quarterback Tim Tebow has improved, and is better now than when he first joined the team.

Kelly indicated Tebow's throwing mechanics are better, while improving on his progressions to find his third and fourth receivers.

"I have seen an improvement from Tim since the day we got him in terms of his knowledge of what we're doing, understanding where everybody is," Kelly said, via the Delaware County Times.

"There's a whole process, and for him what we have done is different than what he's done anywhere else.

"So in terms of learning our terminology and how we do things, I think each week you've seen an incremental bump in him, so we're excited to see where that takes him and it'll be a good competition as we get into August.
