Following up on a
previous item. ... Although new OC Tony Sparano kept his plans for Tebow close to the vest last week, it's been speculated that Tebow will be used in Wildcat/read-option packages and possibly line up as an H-back and fullback. Now, it's clear he'll play a role on special teams as well.

This after special teams coach Mike Westhoff told the Daily News he will use Tebow on his unit. Westhoff has already discussed his vision with Tebow, who was amenable and eager to contribute on special teams, according to the coach. Although Westhoff didn't reveal his exact plan, he called Tebow a "more potent Brad Smith" with an ability to make a difference on special teams. Last week, Sparano said that Tebow "can play anywhere from one to 20 snaps. The Jets punted an average of 5.8 times per game last season, so it's conceivable that as many as 30 percent of Tebow's snaps will come on special teams -- as long as he's the backup and hasn't moved past incumbent starting QB Mark Sanchez.
