Tim Tebow has made something of a return to the NFL, signing a one-year deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars under coach Urban Meyer.
Tebow made his debut with the organization this week, catching some passes and beginning to work on his tight end game. Tebow will be returning to the NFL as a tight end rather than a quarterback.
The photos show Tebow is ... jacked.
Naturally, social media responded to the photos with surprise and celebration for seeing Tebow.
Tebow’s return to the NFL wasn’t exactly well-received when it happened. Fans wondered why Tebow — who has been out of the league — would want to return to a sport he had left. His return became an immediate media story.
ESPN’s Anthony McFarland said Tebow was a “polarizing former athlete that we can’t stop talking about.”
- “Here’s the quandary with Tim Tebow,” ESPN’s McFarland said. “Tim Tebow was a really good college athlete who some people around the country think has been treated with a lot of privilege — decent athlete who’s been given a lot of things and a lot of chances. Other people ... love his story about faith and his relationship with God and perseverance. ... He’s got his allegiance.”
