At a quick glance, the picture of him of does in fact look like Tebow, just a slightly larger version of him. Everyone on Twitter thought so and joked about the matter in a harmless way.
It all started when former defensive end Chris Long quote-tweeted the tweet, saying, "That's not big Tem Tebow?" Fans chimed in with their jokes shortly after.

Tyler Shatley re-signs with the Jaguars on a 2-year deal worth up to $6.8 million
Despite the funny picture of Shatley that surfaced on Twitter, it came with good news. Shatley re-signed a two-year deal worth up to $6.8 million with $2.35 million guaranteed to remain in Jacksonville.
Shatley joined the Jaguars in 2014 as an undrafted free agent and has remained with Jacksonville his entire career.
The 30-year-old Shatley has started in 28 career games for the Jaguars and has become a valuable part of their offensive line the last eight seasons.
Shatley has played in all 33 games for the team over the past two seasons with a combined 18 starts.
They use Shatley in many ways. Shatley's position is guard, but they shuffle him around on the line, sometimes playing center or tackle as well.
While Shatley will remain in Jacksonville, fellow linesmen Cam Robinson, A.J. Cann and Andrew Norwell are each slated to enter free agency when the new league year begins on March 16.
