JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Tim Tebow’s comeback and NFL occupation are in excess of.

Tebow’s blocking ranged from awkward to dreadful in Jacksonville’s preseason opener against Cleveland on his 34th birthday. The polarizing participant went viral for two botched tries on the opening drive of the third quarter Saturday night time, the 2nd 1 a lot more egregious than the very first.

Tebow also failed to report a capture against the Browns and received no snaps on unique teams. Meyer explained Tebow’s play lacked regularity, particularly in tackling. And if Tebow were likely to make Jacksonville’s 53-person roster, he necessary to be a special teams contributor.
Meyer claimed he expects this to be the conclusion of Tebow’s playing career.
“I would guess it is,” Meyer claimed. “We did not get that deep with it. Obviously he’s his personal male, elite warrior, elite competitor. But he’s also 34 many years outdated.”
