The 2007 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback at Florida is expected to team up with his college coach by signing a one-year contract to play tight end for the Jacksonville Jaguars, NFL Network reported Monday.
The 33-year-old Tebow would be returning to the NFL after four years (2016-19) in the New York Mets organization, and he would be playing for Meyer for the first time since his senior year at Florida in 2009.
Tebow switched positions to tight end after retiring from baseball in February. He worked out for the Jaguars a week later.
Meyer and general manager Trent Baalke are seemingly waiting until after this weekend’s rookie minicamp to get the deal done.
