Josh Duhamel believes that Tim Tebow deserves to play in the National Football League, or NFL. The 42-year-old "Transfomers" star said in a tweet that Tebow should play in the Canadian Football League, or CFL, to prove to NFL that he is worthy to play in America's premier football league.

Why doesn't Tebow go play in the CFL? Seems the only way he can prove he belongs in the NFL. Worked for Kurt Warner.

Several NFL players have already played for the CFL. Some of the famous NFL players who have joined the CFL, either after or before their NFL career, including 1984 Heisman Trophy winner Doug Floutie (B.C.

Tebow currently works as a college football analyst for ESPN's SEC Network. He began his TV career in December 2013. However, Tebow has been very vocal about his desire to come back and play in the NFL again if given an opportunity. He constantly trains just in case the door to NFL opens again. Unfortunately, Tebow hasn't just been given the chance to do so. Despite that, the 27-year-old former quarterback remains hopeful that one day, he will be able to set his foot back in the NFL.

Tebow first played for the Denver Broncos in the NFL from 2010 to 2011. Then, he was traded to the New York Jets in 2012. In 2013, the New England Patriots signed him, but he was quickly cut from the team's roster no later than two months after signing.

In addition to his broadcasting career, Tebow keeps himself busy with his foundation and charity affiliations. The former Heisman Trophy winner will reportedly open an orthopedic hospital in Davao City, Philippines in 2015. Tebow was born in the Makati, Philippines, where his parents previously served as Baptist missionaries.
