Tim Tebow Throws for 2 TDs, Not Worrying about QB Competition, Quotes Philippians 4:6
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Tim Tebow threw two touchdown passes against his former team in a strong effort to make his new team’s 53-man roster.
Tebow, whose NFL career stalled after playing for the New York Jets in 2012, is competing with Matt Barkley for the Philadelphia Eagles‘ No. 3 quarterback job.
“I’m not going to worry about what I can’t control,” Tebow said after the game. “It’s a blessing being able to come out here and play this game that I love. It was a lot of fun out there tonight. It was a blast.”
Asked whether he’d be anxious Friday, knowing the Eagles’ coaching staff would be evaluating him and deciding his fate, Tebow quoted Philippians 4:6.
“I try not to be anxious at all,” Tebow said. “That’s what the Bible says. ‘Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.’ If he said, `Be anxious for nothing,’ I’m going to try to do that.”
