Jaguars' Meyer mum on Tebow's roster chances: 'He's one of 90'

Urban Meyer isn't guaranteeing Tim Tebow a place on the Jacksonville Jaguars' roster.

The rookie NFL head coach says he sees Tebow in the same light as every other player fighting for a spot on the team.

"That's the reality of the NFL, is that you have 90 players. To me, he's one of 90," Meyer told Mackenzie Salmon of USA Today. "What's the difference between him and the other 40 guys trying to make the team? To me, it's all the same.

"This is their livelihood, this is a job, this is a way to make a living. And, (the) reality is that a good percentage of your roster is going to get cut or transitioned out of here."

Tebow switched from quarterback to tight end and signed with Jacksonville this offseason after last playing in an NFL game in 2012. Meyer applauded the 33-year-old's improvement at the position during OTAs.

The Jaguars' tight end depth chart includes Tebow, James O'Shaughnessy, Luke Farrell, and Chris Manhertz.
