Tim Tebow is a 'Trojan Horse' who will eventually play quarterback for the Jaguars

I think Tim Tebow is kind of a Trojan horse deal. I think he might end up playing quarterback. because if you saw the handshake that he put on the other guy, that is a quarterback's handshake. flalessly executed. Tim Tebow, I think, is going to... If I were Trevor Lawrence, I would sleep very cautiously.

Tebow never played quarterback for the Jaguars; he was cut during the preseason and never made the final roster.

I could defeat a bald eagle in a fight by grabbing it and slamming it on the ground.

The move would be to jump up in the air and to grab it like you're mossing nature. And you just grab it and then you slam it on the ground. Smother it... while it's trying to do that, just boom, stamp him on his head.

Bald eagles have powerful talons and beaks; an unarmed human would likely suffer severe injury before 'mossing' it.

Tim Tebow signing with the Jaguars is a 'big joke' and he can't play tight end

This is an interesting signing, and it's a stupid signing. And I will absolutely say that this is a big joke because he can't play. He couldn't play quarterback. He was a terrible quarterback. He hasn't played since 2012. He's going to be 34 years old, and he has no suddenness to his game. He can't play tight end.

Tebow was released by the Jaguars on August 17, 2021, after one preseason game.

Major colleges shorten their tracks to fake faster 40-yard dash times during Pro Days

I think that the major programs out there are making a section of their practice fields where the hash marks are slightly closer together. So the place where they have them run the 40-yard dashes at their own pro days, it's actually slightly less than 40 yards, which would make them time out better.

While pro day times are notoriously faster than combine times due to hand-timing and 'home cooking,' there is no evidence colleges literally shorten the field.
