Twitter reacts to reports of Tebow's NFL comeback
Tim Tebow's first stint in the NFL provided no shortage of entertainment, so it's no surprise his 2021 comeback has the whole world talking.
News that the 33-year-old former quarterback reportedly intends to sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars as a tight end prompted all sorts of memes and reactions across Twitter on Monday:

Tim Tebow should be as good in the NFL as TE as he was a QB. pic.twitter.com/RSy5Negb0o

Tebow's tale is the latest wild story to dominate recent sports headlines, making it reasonable to wonder if the simulation is, in fact, broken:
Aaron Rodgers wanting out of Green Bay is somehow currently the third wildest sports storyline behind Tim Tebow playing tight end for the worst team in the league and a horse on steroids whose trainer is blaming cancel culture.

Urban Meyer is signing Tim Tebow, Bennifer is back together and the Knicks are good. My MySpace page must be blowing up.

Tim Tebow last appeared in an NFL regular season game in 2012. That season, Adrian Peterson won league MVP, RG3 won Offensive Rookie of the Year, Luke Kuechly won Defensive Rookie of the Year, and Joe Flacco was Super Bowl MVP.#Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence was 12 years old.

While the Jaguars' reported decision brought more than a few lighthearted jokes, it didn't receive a unanimously positive reaction from the NFL community:
All jokes aside. Why is Tebow back in the NFL. There's no proper explanation for this. Dude hasn't seen the field in the regular season in 8 years.

Imagine being a TE prospect busting your ass trying to make the NFL and a roster spot gets chewed up by a 33-year old Tim Tebow fresh off the back of two failed previous pro-sports careers.

Tim Tebow hasn’t played since 2012! If they really sign him that’ll be the wildest thing I’ve ever seen. I was actually on the Jets when he got released in 2013 and let me tell you.. I understood why. 🤣 Good dude though. 2012 though? Wild. https://t.co/fRP1U7bxW1
