Ever since the Philadelphia Eagles made the decision to sign Tim Tebow, head coach Chip Kelly has been a strong supporter of the veteran. Earlier this offseason, Kelly made mention of Tebow's improved mechanics and understanding of the offense. According to Kelly, Tebow is a much more accurate passer since joining the team.

If Tebow can continue to make such major strides as a passer, it seems likely that he will not only make the roster but also have a role in short yardage situations and special packages. Earlier this offseason, Kelly said that Tebow has skills that other quarterbacks don't have.

He's not the only one that has been impressed by Tebow either. Both DeMarco Murray and Brandon Graham expressed confidence that Tebow will not only make the team but also find a role. The jury is still out, but all signs point to Tebow being one of the 53 finalists on the Eagles' 2015 roster.
