Eagles’ Tim Tebow scores his first touchdown since return to NFL (Video)

Tim Tebow scored his first touchdown with the Philadelphia Eagles since returning to the NFL.
Tim Tebow got another shot in the NFL when the Philadelphia Eagles brought him into their training camp to try and earn a roster spot. Most have Tebow competing for the third spot on the depth chart behind Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez.
His preseason debut with the Eagles has been the typical Tebow roller coaster, he started off completing four of five passes thanks to plays designed to create ease and short passes. But then Tebow did some stuff like scrambling like a maniac to lose double-digit yards on a third-down play.
But the one thing that might be remembered from this first preseason game is the fact that Tebow scored a touchdown. Not with his arm, but with his feet. It was an option play, pulling the handoff to roll out to the right and make a dash for the pylon.
The play was reviewed, but he clearly made it into the end zone and ultimately the touchdown was upheld. It was a seven-yard run all in all.
