After years away from football, former Nease High School and Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow is returning to the NFL.
Philadelphia Eagles Coach Chip Kelly is adding Tebow to his team’s roster. WJCT Sports Analyst Cole Pepper says the First Coast’s favorite quarterback could face an uphill battle in the City of Brotherly Love.
“If he plays and struggles in Philadelphia, where they booed Santa Claus, I think it’s a very difficult city to not immediately play well in. There are more forgiving cities in the National Football League, to be sure,” Pepper said.
Pepper said, “It’s just going to be interesting to see how this plays out.”
Tebow played for the Denver Broncos and New York Jets before being released from his contract almost exactly two years ago.
