Jaguars may use Tim Tebow as quarterback in 'Taysom Hill role'?

The Jaguars have officially brought on Tim Tebow as a tight end, but according to ESPN's Dianna Russini, many people around the league believe the team is considering utilizing Tebow as a quarterback as well.

"There are those in the league who think Urban Meyer is bringing Tebow in to play QB at that Taysom Hill role," Russini said on "Get Up." "Using him in that wildcat as we've seen him use in the past."

Hill, who played quarterback for BYU in college, has been a unique weapon for the Saints over the past four seasons, passing for four touchdowns, rushing for 11 touchdowns, and receiving seven touchdowns. 

While there is no chance that Tebow is able to wrestle away the starting quarterback job from Trevor Lawrence, there is a growing belief that he could fill a similar role to Hill in Jacksonville, providing the team with a scoring threat as a passer, rusher and receiver.

The big question for Tebow is whether or not he will still be able to compete in the NFL. His first stint in the NFL was extremely short and divisive, as he managed to win a playoff game despite completing less than half of his passes. At 33, Tebow will have to prove he has what it takes to earn a spot on an NFL roster.
