JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) â Tim Tebow wasnât the first â and surely wonât be the last â college quarterback to switch positions in the NFL. The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner is, however, the first to do it more than a decade after making his professional debut.
Tebow signed a one-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday and is returning to pro football for the first time since getting released by Philadelphia a week before the 2015 season opener.
The former Florida star and 2010 first-round draft pick by Denver is reuniting with his college coach, Urban Meyer, and trying to revive his career as a tight end following a five-year baseball stint in the New York Metsâ organization.

The 2021 NFL Draft in Cleveland begins tomorrow, Thursday April 29, and runs through Saturday, May 1. The Michigan State Spartans have had at least one player selected in each of the past 80 NFL Drafts, and hope to keep that streak alive this year with three draft hopefuls cornerback Shakur Brown, defensive tackle Naquan Jones and linebacker Antjuan Simmons. We have previously discussed both Brown and Jones’ draft profiles, and will now highlight what Simmons brings to the table below.
Simmons was an ultra-productive college linebacker, but his lack of size could affect his chances of being drafted by an NFL team. Either way, with his incredible work ethic, expect Simmons to catch on with a professional team either through the draft or as an undrafted free agent.
