It was Tebow Time this afternoon in South Philadelphia. But the real question is: did he do enough to make it on the Philadelphia Eagles 53-man roster?
Right now, the answer remains, as some reporters and analysts would say no. Head coach and defacto GM Chip Kelly would eventually have to make that tough decision.
The Eagles currently have Tim Tebow as their fourth quarterback on the depth chart. If he could somehow unseat Matt Barkley – who hasn’t done anything in his NFL career in the regular season – Tebow would be able to make his first roster in two years.

His last game in the NFL came on December 17th, 2012, against the Tennessee Titans. The New York Jets lost 14-10.
He had three carries for 15 yards. Tebow also had one passing attempt.
