When Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer invited Tim Tebow to compete for a roster spot, he knew there was a chance things wouldn’t work out. After giving the 2010 first-round selection the opportunity to make the transition to tight end, Meyer decided to pull the plug on the experiment and the team released Tebow when they had to cut down the roster from 90 players to 85.
Make no mistake, signing the two-time SEC Player of the Year was the head coach’s idea.
