Former Texas Longhorns quarterback and current NBC Sports analyst Chris Simms always has some sort of strong opinion. Most folks tend to disagree with a majority of his takes too.
This time, however, Simms might be on to something. He thinks Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer threatens the team’s locker room culture with the recent signing of former Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow as a tight end, even though Tebow hasn’t played a snap of professional football or football otherwise since at least 2015.
I think there’s a risk the Jaguars are taking with their locker room. Tim Tebow (as nice as he is) cleary doesn’t deserve the shot he’s getting. And I wonder what his teammates will think when a lesser player is taking up practice reps as a marketing ploy.
