Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper can’t wait to see Tim Tebow play

That continued not only with that near-catch over Evans, but when he dropped a pass from Tim Tebow down the sideline that would have gone for a touchdown. “He’s a tough dude and I’m anxious to see what he can do”, Eagles Reciever Riley Cooper told CSN Philly.

“So that kind of uncontrolled-type stuff”. We could run a naked [bootleg] and get [Tebow] out on the perimeter with a guy hanging off him and making a throw.

“You know, all that type of stuff that you say, ‘Wow, that was really a terrific athletic play'”. Bradford has only played in seven games since 2013, and he missed all of 2014 with his second straight torn ACL.

On Friday, the Eagles announced its first unofficial depth chart and Tebow was indeed listed at quarterback – behind Sam Bradford, Mark Sanchez and Matt Barkley. “I don’t know if we’re hiding anything”. “He’s a heck of a quarterback, a heck of a teammate”.

With a head coach in Kelly known for being as offensively creative as he is secretive, are the Eagles slow-playing their Tebow hand? Shurmur didn’t think there was much chance of springing Tebow on an unsuspecting NFL.

“Tim got the crap knocked out of him”, Shurmur said.

But hope springs eternal this time of year; roster spots are won and we’ve long said that if anybody can get the most out of Tebow’s skills it’s Kelly.

Shurmur said he was watching the SEC channel a couple of nights ago and found a Florida-Michigan bowl game.
