Two college football quarterback legends are set to hit the field together this NFL season and tbh, they’re probably one of unlikeliest of duos in league history.
Trevor Lawrence was the sure fire pick at #1, but the Jags signing Tim Tebow in the offseason was the move no one saw coming. Literally no one, and the fact he’ll now be catching balls from Lawrence as a tight end is a bit mind-blowing. The QB was asked about the signing and of course, EA’s NCAA video game series came up.
The following is an excerpt from Yahoo:
“That was really when I started to get into watching football and college football, right when Tim Tebow was in his heyday at Florida. I played with him on all the NCAA games.
“But no, I’d never met him before until last week. That was cool for me to get to meet him. You would have thought that our paths would have crossed at some point, but they just hadn’t. I just found that interesting.”
We just hope that Lawrence didn’t model any of his game off of Tim because he didn’t exactly pan out, at least at the NFL level. But come on… who could forget this beauty!
Let’s remember that Tebow played under new Jags head coach Urban Myer in college and that the guy always finds a way to win! Even with Lawrence’s thumbs in video games!!!! Their chemistry should be one of the bigger storylines heading into the offseason.
