    Tim Tebow 2.0 will be unveiled Friday night in the same stadium that he made his NFL preseason debut as a rookie. This time, the New York Jets' backup quarterback hopes he doesn't rip any muscles.

    On the final play of the Denver Broncos' opener in 2010, Tebow ran 7 yards for a meaningless touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals, colliding with two defenders and suffering a torn oblique.

    "Yeah, I remember because I'm super competitive," Tebow said this week with a laugh, claiming no regrets. "That's who I am."

    The Jets will get their first up-close view of Tebow in a non-controlled environment Friday against the Cincinnati Bengals, a debut that will capture national attention because of the extraordinary hype that has surrounded him since his trade to the Jets in March.

    Tebow could change the way preseason games are viewed. Many fans lose interest when the starters are removed, but that won't be the case with Tebow, the most popular backup quarterback in the NFL.

    There's a built-in fascination with Tebow, but also a mystique because the Jets have yet to reveal how they plan to use him other than to say he'll be deployed in a Wildcat package. He also will play on special teams as the personal protector on the punt team -- and you might see him in that role Friday night.
