Over the weekend, Tebow made his preseason debut for the team and went viral after getting mocked for his terrible block attempts while playing tight end.

On Tuesday morning, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Jags decided to waive Tebow after his poor performance in the team’s first preseason game.

Tebow was immediately roasted by NFL fans who bashed the Jags’ decision to bring him in without having any experience at tight end.
Now we wait to see which new opportunity for which Tebow is totally unqualified but in which he will, inexplicably, be given multiple chances to fail emerges. https://t.co/39lEbzysTX
