JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Tim Tebow is headed to town.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to sign the former University of Florida star within the next few weeks, reuniting him with his college head coach, Urban Meyer. He’ll be a tight end, though, not a quarterback, which means he’ll be learning a new position six years after he last participated in an NFL practice (the 2015 preseason with the Philadelphia Eagles).
Moving to tight end was something NFL teams wanted Tebow to consider after he failed as an NFL quarterback, but Tebow was adamant about staying behind center.
