Report: Jaguars Envision Taysom Hill-Like Role For Tim Tebow

May 31, 2021 2:01 PM

Tim Tebow hasn't taken an NFL snap since 2012, but he's in camp with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Tebow is listed as a tight end, but Urban Meyer envisions using the 33-year-old in a utility role -- much like Taysom Hill with the New Orleans Saints.

"There are people in camp right now who strongly believe the reason why Urban Meyer brought Tim Tebow in is not to play tight end, but actually to use him in that utility role, that Taysom Hill role that we see Sean Payton use in New Orleans," Dianna Russini said on ESPN's Get Up.

"In terms of comparing the two, we always talk about on this show how much Sean Payton loves Taysom Hill. It's been very obvious over the years. That same kind of love is what Tim Tebow and Urban Meyer have between each other. It could be a very similar situation, but in terms of football, this is something we could be seeing."

Giants Claim Ryquell Armstead Off Waivers From Jaguars

May 19, 2021 7:32 AM

The New York Giants have claimed Ryquell Armstead off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Armstead was waived by the Jaguars on Monday after he missed the entire 2020 season because of complications related to COVID-19.

The 24-year-old was twice placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list last season. He spent 19 days on the list the first time, then dealt with a groin injury and another illness before going back on the list. Players are placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list if they test positive for the virus or have been in close contact with someone who has.
