Chip Kelly: "always been a fan" of Tebow

PHILADELPHIA - "I've always been a fan of Tim."

That's the opinion of Eagles head coach Chip Kelly, seemingly enjoying his first offseason as the team's personnel man, a provocative campaign that saw the departure of a starting quarterback, running back, and wide receiver.

And when Kelly brought in Tim Tebow to practice for the team last week, even more questions were raised by those whose profession is gossip - and mockery.

Tebow, who has not appeared in an NFL uniform since being released by the Patriots in 2013, was marked by Kelly as one of the many regular workout afforded veteran free agents by NFL teams.

"We bring in a lot of players for private workouts," Kelly told Steve Wyche of NFL Media, "it's just he's the one that everyone keeps talking about. We brought in Terrelle Pryor for a workout and Thad Lewis in for a workout. When players are available for you to work them out, it's the same thing of going to the Veteran Combine or going to the Super Regional Combine."

Tebow would leave the NovaCare Complex without an offer.
