The Philadelphia Eagles may need to get creative in finding a role for Tim Tebow this season, and an intriguing option for the polarizing signal-caller would be putting his unique skill set to use as a short-yardage and two-point specialist.

Head coach Chip Kelly hinted at the possibility early in Saturday night's preseason game against the Green Bay Packers, but it didn't go as planned.

Tebow entered the game as the quarterback for two-point conversion attempts following each of the Eagles' first two touchdowns, with both run and pass plays proving unsuccessful.

Coming up short may have been more about the team's PAT struggles than it was Tebow's fit for the role, however, as Philadelphia also missed on a kick following the third touchdown of the night.
