3 former Denver Broncos who should make a Tebow-like comeback

Unlike many other one-year wonders that have passed through the NFL, Tim Tebow presents some intrigue that hasn’t ever been matched.

While the league has been quiet for the most part in the past month, Tebow has found his way back into league circles. In an effort to get back on to the field, Tim Tebow will be joining his former college Head Coach Urban Meyer and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Tebow will not be playing quarterback this time around. He will be switching to a position he has never played before — tight end. As a physical specimen, this isn’t altogether unrealistic for the Florida native.

In a somewhat weak tight end room in Jacksonville, Tebow has a decent shot of making the roster. His work ethic, determination, and perseverance have never been undermined, but his ability to throw the football accurately has been doubted, rightfully so.

He will never be a starting quarterback in the NFL again barring something miraculous, but some ponder if Tebow had made this switch earlier in his career, would he have carved out a career for himself?

Following Tebow’s return to the Jaguars, another former player returned for a former regime when Kelvin Benjamin signed with the New York Giants to play tight end under David Gettleman. This transition shouldn’t be as difficult as Benjamin has run NFL routes before.

Benjamin may not be the swiss army knife Tebow could possibly be, but he played the brother position to tight end, wide receiver.

As former players sit and watch as this goes on, Brandon Jacobs decided he wanted to tweet his interest in returning to the league. Unlike Tebow & Benjamin, Jacobs said he wanted to switch sides of the football entirely.

Jacobs took a bit of a shot at Tebow, claiming he is the better athlete and would be able to make the switch over to defensive end. As a ball carrier, Jacobs was always a freight train. He possessed enough bulk that he should be able to handle the physicality aspect, but that isn’t all that goes into switching positions.

Considering all of the former players attempting to make their respective returns, it got caught my attention. If there were some former Denver Broncos who could return to the NFL in a position switch, who would it be?
