Tebow has been working to make his comeback to the NFL during the past two years, working out for various teams (including the Eagles) as well as taking some time to fine tune his mechanics with Tom House in his 3DQB performance center for quarterbacks and pitchers.

This may be the first time in his various stops in the NFL that Tebow will be plugged into an offensive system that utilizes his skill set and will find new ways to take advantages of his work ethic and enthusiasm.
Tebow will be joining an Eagles roster with four other quarterbacks — Matt Barkley, Sam Bradford, G.J. Kinne, and his former teammate from his time with the New York Jets, Mark Sanchez. The Eagles traded former starter Nick Foles to the Rams to acquire Bradford in the offseason.
This should make for an interesting QB competition in Philly.
The former Florida Gator and Heisman Trophy winner has not played in the NFL since 2012, when he was with the Jets. He has a career 47.9 completion percentage with 17 touchdown passes and nine interceptions.
