Tim Tebow reports have been going wild as of late, but the real story hasn’t been told. Now it has. The Jacksonville Jaguars haven’t officially signed Tim Tebow yet. But if Urban Meyer’s gushing about Tebow is any indication, the team is going to make the move soon.

Meyer spoke to Cris Collinsworth about the Tebow workout, and revealed exactly how things went down:

“We have not signed Tim,” Meyer clarified on the Cris Collinsworth PFF Podcast. “There’s a thought going around. He was in the best shape of his life, asked to see if he could work out with a couple of our coaches. I wasn’t even there. They came back to me and said, ‘Wow, this guy’s in incredible shape.’ Then I went another time and watched them try him out. And they said go work on these things, he comes back later. They try him out again, I’m not there, they come in and they said, ‘Wow, this guy’s ball skills, he’s a great athlete, he looks like he’s 18-years-old, not 20, whatever he is, 33. I said, ‘Guys you don’t understand, now this guy is, he’s the most competitive maniac you’re ever gonna talk to and let’s give it a shot.'”

Urban Meyer knows there will be some backlash if they ultimately sign Tebow.

He’s probably trying to figure out if the juice is worth the squeeze.
