Tim Tebow, Jacksonville Jaguars. (USA Today)
Tim Tebow looks to have the physique to play tight end in the NFL for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
With a position switch from quarterback to tight end, Tim Tebow arrived at Jacksonville Jaguars training camp looking like he was a professional bodybuilder.
Lifting and hitting the gym has never been the issue for Tebow. His problems in the NFL had everything to do with his loopy throwing motion and his initial reluctancy to switch positions. Now that he has fully embraced being an NFL tight end, it will be interesting to see if he can star for his hometown team in his mid-30s. At least we know Tebow looks good decked out in Black and Teal.
With a growing connection with Trevor Lawrence, maybe Tebow has a shot at making the Jaguars?

There are several things serving Tebow in his last-ditch effort to be an NFL player. One, he is playing for his small-market, hometown team. Two, Jacksonville has had one good season since he last played at Florida. Three, Lawrence is the best quarterback prospect since Andrew Luck. And four, Tebow’s college coach Urban Meyer is at the helm in Jacksonville. So it could happen for real.
From being able to make the team, catching passes and running routes are probably not going to be an issue for Tebow. What could present a problem is having to block defensive front-seven players, as well as being targeted by any defender who wants to light Tebow up like a Christmas tree. With a teal No. 85 jersey, Tebow is a walking target out there, but one built like a bodybuilder.
Mental toughness and sure-handedness will contribute to Tebow possibly making the Jaguars.
