Tim Tebow won't be the first NFL training camp sideshow: Five more, from Brock Lesnar to a Hall of Famer

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed Tim Tebow, and everyone lost their dadgum minds.

It seemed outrageously unacceptable that the Jaguars would devote a training camp roster spot to a 33-year-old who hasn't played football in six years and is attempting to transition from quarterback to tight end. It wasn't hard to feel cynicism toward the Jaguars and Tebow, especially when his jersey quickly jetted to the top of the NFL's sales list.

There is, however, another way to view the training camp sideshow coming to Jacksonville later this summer, one that is decidedly less angry and more in line with NFL history.
