Philadelphia Eagles' outside linebacker Brandon Graham is the latest teammate who praised backup quarterback Tim Tebow's play this offseason as the 6-foot-2 defender said that the former Florida Gator is set to make the team's roster this season, as per Fox Sports.

"Tim Tebow is going to shock a lot of people, because he is going to make the team," said the former Michigan standout. "And I think he will play a lot."

Those were pretty reliable words coming from someone who sees what is going on inside the Eagles camp day in and day out.

Running back DeMarco Murray was the first teammate to commend Tebow's new set of mechanics, which was after head coach Chip Kelly said that "he's really progressed."

SB Nation indicated that Tebow's rival as Kelly's third-string signal caller, Matt Barkley, is involved in a lot of trade rumors lately, which increases the possibility of the 2007 Heisman Trophy winner to make the team.

It was said that the Eagles were trying to trade Barkley even before they signed Tebow last April. In fact, it was almost a year ago that reports of Barkley's availability was first mentioned, which mean that the former USC Trojan is not in the long term plans of Kelly.

However, even if Tebow's inclusion in the roster is almost one hundred percent as of the moment, actually playing during game days is a different matter.

If Sam Bradford can go back to his old form, then Tebow may just be warming the bench all season. Kelly has a penchant to activate only two signal callers per game and it would expectedly be Bradford and Mark Sanchez.

Still, Tebow fans should note that Kelly also mentioned his plan of testing their idol "in short-yardage plays."

Meanwhile, latest reports from the NJ Advance Media said that it is "clear that Sam Bradford is going to be this team's starting quarterback." The 2010 AFP NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year got all first team reps during training camp so far, a clear indication that Kelly favors him to be his starter come September.

The report also mentioned that Barkley "has no chance of being in Philadelphia this season." It was said that he is most likely to be traded if he performed well in training camp while he will be waived if he did not.
