Jaguars could use Tim Tebow in Taysom Hill role?
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ decision to sign former quarterback Tim Tebow to play tight end has been the talk of the NFL world in recent weeks.
Tebow has not played in a regular-season NFL game since 2012. When he was on the field for the Denver Broncos and New York Jets, the former Heisman winner at Florida was nowhere near an NFL-caliber quarterback. Despite this, his former head coach with the Gators, Urban Meyer, has decided to take a chance on him.
Now comes this piece of information from ESPN’s Dianna Russini indicating that Tebow could in fact be used some at quarterback. The idea would be for him to be the Jaguars’ version of New Orleans Saints signal caller Taysom Hill.
“There are those in the league who think Urban Meyer is bringing Tebow in to play QB at that Taysom Hill role. Using him in that wildcat as we’ve seen him use in the past,” the NFL insider noted on Thursday.
Obviously, rookie No. 1 pick Trevor Lawrence will take a vast majority of the snaps under center. For a college coach in Meyer, the hope is to add a new wrinkle to the Jaguars’ offense.
