Steve Weatherford is becoming one of the most well-known punters in the NFL because of his off-field comments. Weatherford seems to continue to make himself relevant by opening his mouth, sharing his opinion and stirring up drama. Weatherford was interviewed by WFAN on Friday and he made it extremely clear now he feels about Tim Tebow and the Philadelphia Eagles.
“I’m the biggest Tim Tebow fan in the world. I mean, who wouldn’t want their daughter to date a guy like that?”
Weatherford could have stopped there but he chose not to. He likes Tebow as a person but not sold on him as a quarterback.
“I’ll tell you what, I don’t want him taking snaps for my team.”
Tebow wasn’t the only quarterback Weatherford had an opinion on. Weatherford also chimed in on the idea of the Eagles extending the contract of injury prone Sam Bradford.
“Good luck with that. Chip Kelly will get himself in serious trouble if they get an extension for that guy and he gets hurt. He’s (Chip Kelly) done.”
If I’m Steve Weatherford I would keep my mouth shut. The Giants face the Eagles twice during the season, Week 6 and Week 17. Someone from the Eagles might hit him with cheap shot if his not paying attention.
