Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly says he believes quarterback Tim Tebow has improved — since signing a one-year contract in April.
Tebow — out of the NFL last season, as a ESPN analyst — has not played in a regular-season game since 2012 with the New York Jets, when he was used primarily as a Wildcat quarterback.
According to the Delaware County Daily Times, Kelly likes what he sees:
“I have seen an improvement from Tim since the day we got him in terms of his knowledge of what we’re doing, understanding where everybody is,” Kelly said. “There’s a whole process, and for him what we have done is different than what he’s done anywhere else. So in terms of learning our terminology and how we do things, I think each week you’ve seen an incremental bump in him, so we’re excited to see where that takes him and it’ll be a good competition as we get into August.”
Mark Sanchez and Sam Bradford are expected to compete for the starting job.
