Tim Tebow is reportedly working out with the Eagles

Yes, that's the same Tebow who hasn't played a regular-season game since a dismal year with the Jets in 2012.

Chip Kelly apparently loves him some headlines. He's garnered a ton of them with his offseason wheeling and dealing, and just as things started to slow down this comes out Monday:

The Eagles are reportedly working out QB Tim Tebow. Maybe this is just to torment Mark Sanchez?

Yes, that's the same Tebow who hasn't played a regular-season game since a dismal year with the Jets in 2012.

Yes, that's the same Tebow who has completed 47.9 percent of his 361 career pass attempts.

(Yes, that's the same Tebow who has a better playoff record as a Denver starter, 1-1, than Peyton Manning, 2-3).

(Yes, that's the same Tebow who had a 149.3 passer rating in a win over the Vikings in 2011).

Yes, those last two things are the ultimate low-hanging fruit stats.

But yes, Tebow is working out with the Eagles. Take it easy, man.
