Tim Tebow Signs with the Pats

Tebow's dream is fulfilled at last - to play alongside Tom Brady

In quite possibly the biggest shock of the NFL offseason so far, unwanted quarterback slash running back, Tim Tebow looks set to be signed by the New England Patriots.

Unwanted by the Denver Broncos who drafted him and now the New York Jets, evangelical Christian, Tebow's last hope could very well be with Bill Belichick and offensive coordinator, Josh McDaniels, who Tebow worked with in Denver.

Of course, this means absolutely nothing until the final squad is named for the NFL regular season but Tebow's arrival in Foxborough might open up the possibility of him being used in some rather interesting wildcat formations.

While Brady's production has been consistent, the Patriots do need to find alternatives to ensure that the Pats remain on top of the AFC. While Ryan Mallett is certainly earmarked for the future as the main quarterback, Tebow could provide an option at running back that is quite unique.

He isn't quite as petite as Danny Woodhead but still fits rather well in the Patriots' versatile offence. Tebow's move to Boston could represent the first sign of the team moving on from the Wes Welker-based offence - Welker has now moved to Denver to receive from Peyton Manning.

Watch this space. Now I wonder if I could get a number 7 Tebow Pats top?
