Raiders' Darren Waller offers to mentor Jaguars' Tim Tebow on tight end position

Tim Tebow didn't get an invitation to attend last month's Tight End University, but he might have just received an offer for something better. 

Las Vegas Raider star Darren Waller has offered to help the Jacksonville Jaguars tight end learn the ins and outs of his new position. "If he thinks he can learn from me, then I'd love to help him and help make his transition smoother," Waller told TMZ Sports.

Waller made a less dramatic shift from wide receiver to tight end and said he learned how to play the position from other guys around the NFL. 

"I tried to find any information I could from watching guys play or asking people when I moved," Waller said of his own move. "So I'd love to continue to pass that on and help him be a better player."

Waller has been a prime example of passion and determination throughout his career. After substance abuse issues derailed his career after two seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, he found a home with the Raiders and has been one of their best players ever since.

The 28-year-old earned a Pro Bowl selection in 2020 after catching 107 passes for a career-high 1,196 yards and nine touchdowns. In three seasons with the Raiders, he has 203 catches for 2,416 yards and 12 touchdowns. 

Tebow's shift from quarterback to tight end won't be easy, especially because he's been out of football since 2012. But, if he's going to seek advice from anyone, it definitely should be Waller.
