Current and NFL players aren’t happy about the Jaguars signing Tim Tebow
Tebow #Tebow
As of Tuesday midday, nearly 24 hours after news broke that the Jacksonville Jaguars were planning on signing Tim Tebow as a tight end, the name of the former QB/Mets OF was still trending on Twitter.
Part of the reason for that? There were many, many critics of the Jags, including — as you’d expect — current and former NFL players, who cited the fact that he’s in his mid-30s (also, it’s been a while since he’s played in the NFL!) and will be playing a position he’s never played before.
So here’s a roundup of some of the reaction from current NFLers and some ex-players:
I love Tebow too but gahh damn he got more lives than a cat 😂😂😂😂 https://t.co/AKimuWvxv1

“Everyone knows why Tebow got this opportunity. He’s from Jacksonville and they’re trying to sell tickets. It’s not because he can play.” pic.twitter.com/c3fj5H7IXo
