Quarterback Tim Tebow was recently spotted working out for roughly two and a half hours in Arizona. The 25-year-old was reportedly smiley and cheerful as he signed autographs for anybody that approached him.

The star could be seen in a photo at Paradise Valley Community College on the track with a personal trainer.  Almost instantaneously after the left-handed signal caller was spotted, "Tebow in Arizona" became the #1 searched Internet trend.

Despite the massive amount of speculation, it still remains uncertain whether Tebow was present in the desert state to showcase his skills for the Arizona Cardinals or for simply a vacation. 

Nonetheless, the Jacksonville Jaguars, who were the team that most experts picked to acquire Tebow, appear to not be as interested as experts originally thought. Late in December, it was reported by Yahoo! that the quarterback landing in Jacksonville was a "virtual certainty."

However, Jags' General Manager David Caldwell seemed to shoot down that well-believed assumption last week with the following comments on Thursday:

"I can't imagine a scenario where he'd be a Jacksonville Jaguar," he said.

From a promotional standpoint, the Cardinals could clearly reap considerable benefits if they did pull the trigger on a move for Tebow. 

According to Revenge Of The Birds, various sports programs such as HBO's "Hard Knocks" would jump at coverage of Tebow and his potential new club.

In hindsight, Tebow actually having more opportunities in Arizona than he did with the New York Jets may still be very slim, as Arizona defensive coordinator Ray Horton feels that QB Kevin Kolb is still the leader of the Cardinals, amongst other Arizona brass.

When John Elway and the Denver Broncos front office made the decision to sign future Hall-of-Famer Peyton Manning, Tebow became almost instantaneously expendable. 

The young quarterback along with the Broncos' 2012 seventh round draft choice was dealt to the Jets for the team's fourth and sixth round picks on March, 21, 2012. 

Although New York QB Mark Sanchez continued to struggle throughout the 2012-13 season, coach Rex Ryan ultimately never gave Tebow the opportunity to step in and take a stab at the starting job.
