Talks of Tim Tebow returning to the NFL have been circulating since the start of 2014.
In a report by Inquisitr.com, Tebow is currently working as a host on the SEC Network. The former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL quarterback is not giving up hope that he will be back in the league. In a previous report by The Inquisitr, a number of Arena Football teams expressed their interest in possibly acquiring Tebow, particularly the Orlando Predators and LA Kiss, owned by rock star Gene Simmons.
Others also believe that he should try the CFL in Canada, but Tebow remains steadfast in his decision to exhaust all efforts to return only to the NFL.
There are also reports that New York Jets fans are clamoring for the return of Tebow. In another report by The Inquisitr, fans were crying out to bring back Tebow and seen wearing his jersey amidst the Jets' terrible 2-8 start in the season. People were asking for the Jets to give Tebow a second chance.
In the same report by Inquisitr.com, Tim's agent reportedly had a few calls from NFL teams who reportedly were interested. It is not certain which team in particular was interested in Tebow, but Ron Rivera, coach of the Carolina Panthers had positive things to say.
Rivera said, "I'm a big fan of his and he knows it. He has always given me fits when I've had to coach against him. He's a playmaker and he plays a different kind of football. All the guy has ever done is win.... He's one of those guys if you were struggling at quarterback, hey, why wouldn't you give him a shot?"
Former quarterback Jim Theismann, however, thought otherwise, based on the same Inquisitr report, "Tim can't throw the football accurately enough to compete at this level." Afterwards, Theismann said that Tebow was a "fantastic human being". He said that Tebow should have requested for a better exit package with his previous teams, namely the Denver Broncos, New York Jets and New England Patriots.
Reportedly, Tebow continues to train to improve his throw. He has been working out with trainer Ian Danney in Scottsdale, Arizona. Tebow said, "I love doing this. I want to do this for a long time. I love talking football and I love being around it. I don't like to talk hypotheticals. I deal with the real life situations. I treat every day as a blessing. And it's a blessing to be here doing what I'm doing."
