Tim Tebow took a hiatus on his NFL dreams last year when he was cut by the New England Patriots. He went on to become a college football analyst on ESPN.
However, Tebow hasn't given up and was recently seen working out like an NFL player should. Tebow says he's waiting on a call from the league and hopes to hear one soon. Nothing has happened yet and the chances are very slim for a team to call the former Heisman trophy winner.
Former Florida Gators and current Ohio State Buckeyes head coach Urban Meyer is confused by that fact.
“I still don’t get that part of it,” Meyer said. “He’s the second-most efficient passer ever to play college football. . . . He’ll be successful in whatever he does, but he’s such a good player. I just wish it would work out for him.”
Meyer apparently doesn't get the part about Tebow either.
Pro Football Talk explains it perfectly:
Since Meyer can’t figure it out, let me explain it to him: Tebow can’t get an NFL job because the essence of playing quarterback in the NFL is throwing a football accurately, and Tebow is not an accurate passer. Tebow has a career completion rate of 47.9 percent. That is, frankly, awful. Name a terrible NFL quarterback, and you can just about guarantee that he has a better career completion percentage than Tebow. Brandon Weeden? 55.9 percent. Blaine Gabbert? 53.3 percent. JaMarcus Russell? 52.1 percent.
Unless if Tebow has improved incredibly as a quarterback or decides to change his position to a tight end or something, there's no chance he'll be making an NFL roster or making any impact on one.
