"Unfortunately, things did not work out the way we all had hoped."-Rex Ryan
“We have a great deal of respect for Tim Tebow,” Ryan said in a statement released by the team. “Unfortunately, things did not work out the way we all had hoped. Tim is an extremely hard worker, evident by the shape he came back in this offseason. We wish him the best moving forward.”
Tebow always showed up early and stayed late at practice, working hard to improve as a quarterback in the NFL. It simply didn’t work out. Ryan didn’t use Tebow often in his only season with the Jets. However, he always acknowledged his work ethic and dedication.
