Still on the same article, Tebow was quoted as saying ""I was thankful..But I was also like, 'They [the Eagles offensive players] won't be able to hear me! We'll have to go [to a] silent [count].' It's very humbling. It definitely means a lot."

He continued of his comeback saying ""I did some things well..I think there's some things that we want to work on. For me, it's going back, watching film, looking at everything, trying to make corrections and get better one day at a time."
