Tim Tebow’s NFL comeback playing tight end for the first time in his career ended Tuesday when he was among the Jaguars’ initial round of cuts to get their roster down from 90 players to 85.
Tebow thanked the Jaguars on his Twitter account: ”Thankful for highs and even the lows, the opportunities and the setbacks. I never wanted to make decisions out of fear of failure and I’m grateful for the chance to have pursued a dream. Thank you to the Jaguars organization and everyone who has supported me in this journey.”
Tebow, 34, has not been on an NFL roster since 2015, when he failed to make the Philadelphia Eagles’ final 53-man for the regular season.
He was signed by the Jaguars in May and was reunited with Urban Meyer, who coached him at Florida from 2006-09. A Heisman Trophy winner in 2007, Tebow helped the Gators win two national championships as their starting quarterback under Meyer.
