He said he wanted to pursue the Olympics and I think he did, but being fast and training as a sprinter are two different worlds, as he just learned.
The actual sprinters likely got really motivated to not get beat by a football player thinking he could just show up and beat them.
Hopefully he's a humble guy.
If he wants to make Olympic trials he has a long ways to go for sure. He was last in his heat so very far from qualifying for the finals and the Golden Games don't really draw top talent not a single runner was ranked in the top 20 in world in the 100 m field. Whatever though it is good for T&F headed into a bizarre Olympics.
Considering how much bigger Metcalf is than those sprinters he was really impressive.

Agreed. 10.36 is no joke. I'd like to see him indoors run the 60m .

I hope he proves all of you wrong. :D
Props to Tebow for not giving up, but honestly if he actually makes it to week 1 I'll be surprised.

He has basically no competition at TE in Jax.
Here are the other TEs on their roster:
James O'Shaughnessy
Chris Manhertz
Ben Ellefson
Tyler Davis
Luke Farrell

And they all have several years of actual experience playing the position. He's got a tough road ahead.

Not a surprise really , a College Coach giving a former College star a job.

Props for wasting the prime years of his career insisting he was a QB even when noone would pay him to play there and ignoring the opportunity to switch to TE until it is way too late?

Farrell is a 5th round pick who had 12 total receptions in college, pure blocking TE.
He should easily beat him out at least.
I'd think a QB would be able to grasp route running pretty quickly. Logan Thomas did. Edelman made the transition to receiver well too.
