If Tim Tebow still has the desire to be a professional football player, his former college coach said his best chance to play is probably north of the border.

Talking to Rich Eisen and Mike Mayock during NFL Network's NFL Scouting Combine coverage in Indianapolis on Saturday, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said he spoke to Tebow about the possibility of playing in the Canadian Football League.

"I was actually in a conversation with him about going to Canada ... I think if there's a right (opportunity) I think he'd probably do it," Meyer said.

Tebow was cut by the Philadelphia Eagles just before the start of the 2015 season. He finished Philly's preseason slate with a completion percentage near 60 along with a pair of passing touchdowns and an interception. He rushed for 82 yards and another TD. He also showcased a new throwing motion and improved mechanics, but still struggled with reading defenses.

"He does have somewhat of an awkward throwing motion at times," Meyer said. "I really thought the Chip Kelly experience (in Philadelphia) would be his opportunity. I really hope he gets his foot in the door."

Tebow, the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner, helped Florida win two national titles under Meyer before being selected 25th overall by the Denver Broncos in the 2010 NFL Draft. He hasn't played in a NFL regular-season game since his final contest with the New York Jets in December 2012.

For years, the CFL has been a rumored destination for Tebow. Is the time right for a little northern exposure?

He'll be 29 in August.  Almost over-the-hill for a rookie QB.

bout the age khari jones broke into the cfl isnt it? that said i dont think tebow would be more then a back up, he wont turn into a cfl qb and a decent passer in short order.

Khari came up at 26 and after backing up QBs for 3 years, broke into the starting role as a Bomber.  Add 3 years on to Tebow and he's a 32 year old run first QB.  He'd have better luck trying out for the USA national rugby team.

Tebow seems like a good down to earth guy, good head on his shoulders.. It would be interesting to see. I think he would help sell some tickets in some places, however with that being said, i don't think his skill set translates very well to the CFL. He can't throw. That's the bottom line. I think he'd come up here with tons of hype and i think he'd flame out pretty quickly. Would i like to see him come up here? Sure why not. Do i think he'd be successful? Probably not.

If you thought Brohms one hoppers were bad...you ain't seen nothin yet ,till/ and if the Als. ever bring in this neg. lister...Tebow can't throw on the postage stamp size fields down south, how would he ever complete one up here...I hope Popp brings him in and gets burned again by his penchant for anything nfl...be just another nail in his lacklustre performance of late..

This reminds me I found something on the interwebby thing that was teasing some sports analyst who thought coming out of college that Brohms was a better pick than Aaron Rodgers (spelling approximate). It just goes to show how wrong some promoters of college QB's can be.   How Super successful in College QB's can be not pro quality at all.
