The Facts: Eric Decker won't count out Tebow in the quarterback's quest to jump start his NFL career. Decker, who played with the QB in Denver at the height of Tebowmania, calls Tebow a "unique" player who could thrive near the goal line if given the opportunity with the Eagles, who signed the former Heisman winner this offseason. Tebow's nose for the end zone can make him particularly valuable now that the NFL owners decided to keep the two-point conversions at the 2-yard line. "Chip's been doing a lot of stuff this year, so I think anything's possible," Decker told.
Diehards Line:
The Eagles, perhaps not coincidentally, are the team that proposed the rule change. So even though Tebow is looking for another chance as a starting quarterback, he's buried on a depth chart that includes Sam Bradford, Mark Sanchez and Matt Barkley. He could bring tangible value to the team, however, if Kelly starts thinking outside the box after touchdowns. Decker is a believer. "Really, (Tebow) can create his own role. I know he wants to be head quarterback, but he can create a role for himself that can help a team in many ways (whether it's) the two-point conversion if it's moved up or a goal-line package. He has the athletic ability to be a personal punt protector. .. And can play other positions. They'll figure out a way to utilize him if it's going to help them be a better football team. ..." Tebow remains a longshot to catch on with Eagles, but the quarterback does have a chance.
