Can’t see any downsides. He’s not even guaranteed to make the 53 man roster, so why are people freaking out??

Roster spots are finite. If I am rolling the dice on a back-of-the-roster guy at TE, I am not bothering with a mid-30s dude who has no experience at the position. I'm bringing in a younger prospect that may have potential to develop as he grows into his frame, or someone that's going to be able to handle the rigors of special teams coverage, because let's face it, that's where your 3rd and 4th TE are going to see most of their on-field action.

He came in for a workout, coach and former player got to catch up on old times, move on.

If his workout was that impressive, he'd have a contract in hand before he left the building. Maybe Tony can talk to him about a few guest appearances on AEW. That's where washed up entertainers end up, isn't it?

My understanding is that Meyer wasn't even at the tryout.  Tight end is a very a weak position for the team and I think Tebow asked if he could try out and Meyer didn't see the harm in his staff taking a look.  I completely agree that if they were going to sign Tebow, they would have already done it.  The tryout was also before the draft.  I don't think they draft Farrell in the 5th round if they planned to sign Tebow.  I think Meyer has made some positive comments just to be nice to his former player and not to offend Gator fans.  Some people are interpreting that as Meyer is seriously considering him.

I will say that I do think it would be funny if they signed Tebow, sold a bunch of jerseys and season tickets to Gator fans and then cut him!
