Jimmy Smith, one of the best players to ever play for the Jacksonville Jaguars, said Wednesday that when it comes down to Colin Kaepernick or Tim Tebow, the team needs the latter.

Smith told TMZ Sports he feared someone like Kaepernick would divide the locker room.

“We don’t need Colin Kaepernick on our team,” the former NFL great said.
