Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow has recently been working with the Jacksonville Jaguars as a tight end, sources told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Tebow approached the team and requested a test. Switching to tight end, according to some, could have extended his NFL career.
Sources said the team has not made a decision regarding Tebow.
