Rumors and conspiracy theories begin to spread after Tim Tebow signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars as a new tight end.
Tebow rejoined the NFL earlier this month, May 20, after signing a one-year deal to play as tight-end. However, many fans and those in the NFL are starting to question why the head coach of Jaguars, Urban Meyer, signed a quarterback to play tight end. Perhaps, Tebow is not playing tight-end at all.

Russini, along with others in the leagues, believes that the Jaguars plan to turn Tebow into a Taysom Hill-type hybrid player.
It’s possible that this plan might actually work with news of Tebow scoring a touchdown in a Jaguar OTA.
However, many are skeptical that “the plan” will actually work

As controversial as the topic of Tebow will succeed with Jacksonville, Meyers has continued to play coy with the signing of Tebow,
