Jets want Tim Tebow to pack on the pounds
Tim Tebow - QB - New York Jets
June 14, 2012 - 9:35 AM ET

The Jets want Tim Tebow at 250 pounds, about 10 pounds heavier than his playing weight last season with the Broncos.

It's another sign that the Jets view Tebow as a major part of their running game via the Wildcat package. Per ESPN New York, the Jets see Tebow's legs as a weapon in the red zone. At 250, the goal-line option would outweigh Shonn Greene by 24 pounds. It would also be the heaviest Tebow has ever been.
