The Arena League football team partly owned by former NFL quarterback Ron Jaworski has offered Tim Tebow a tryout.
Over the weekend, the Philadelphia Soul indicated they would be interested in Tebow, cut last month by the New York Jets after they tabbed Geno Smith in the second round of the NFL Draft.
The offer is the second to come the former Florida star’s way in recent days, following an overture by the Omaha Beef of the Champions Indoor Professional League.
While certainly interested, Jaworski stressed he doesn’t plan to be overly aggressive in pursuit. “I haven’t heard back from him and I’m not going to push it,” Jaworski told the Philadelphia Daily News. “If he decides he wants to play Arena football, we’ll make a spot for him.”
While not giving away be too many other details, Jaworski did address some of the ways he envisions best using his new would-be-quarterback.
“One criticism of Tebow is that he is slow and methodical,” Jaworski told The Inquirer. “He would be forced to quicken it up in this league and it would be good training for him. You can learn a lot in this league. It’s about processing information and getting the ball out . . . or you get whacked.”
