    The Jets are intrigued enough by Olympic sprinter Jeff Demps that they asked one of his college teammates about him: Tim Tebow. Demps, who won a silver medal in the 4x100 relay in the London Olympics, played with Tebow at the University of Florida from 2008-09, winning a national championship together. Demps is now looking to play in the NFL, drawing interest from several NFL teams, including the Jets, per his agent, Daniel Rose. Tebow gave a preliminary scouting report. "They asked me about him," Tebow said. "Jeff is a great guy, and a great player, and he's someone that I was proud to play with in college. He did a great job for us, and I feel like wherever he goes, he’ll work hard at and do a good job for that team." Tebow said he would not necessarily try to recruit Demps but would talk to him as a friend.
