The Facts:
Ron Jaworski treats opportunity like a Doberman treats prime rib. So when Tebow was released by the New York Jets on April 29, Jaworski took a shot by reaching out to the unemployed quarterback and offered him a roster spot with the Soul. He's still waiting for a reply. "I haven't heard back from him and I'm not going to push it," said Jaworski, one of the Soul's owners. "If he decides he wants to play Arena Football, we'll make a spot for him."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Jaworski and Soul coach Clint Dolezel sent Tebow a list of plays they had in mind for him, most were around the goal line. "One [criticism] of Tebow is that he is slow and methodical," Jaworski said. "He would be forced to quicken it up in this league and it would be good training for him. You can learn a lot in this league. It's about processing information and getting the ball out. ... Or you get whacked." Tebow has a unique mix of skills but he was unable to get on the field much for the Jets last season -- and it's not like New York had Peyton Manning under center. Mark Sanchez went just 6-9 and Greg McElroy started (and lost) the other game for the Jets. "If Tim Tebow decides he wants to play in the Arena Football League," Jaworski said, "I'd love to have him on the Philadelphia Soul."
