Tim Tebow NFL Rumors continue!
Despite landing a job as a football analyst for ESPN SEC Network, the football sensation is not giving up on his NFL quarterback career just yet.
The former Broncos quarterback reveals that he still undergoes training five times a week in preparation for his return in NFL.
"I feel like I'm the best that I've ever been as a quarterback right now. I hope I get the opportunity to show that," he claimed. "But I'm also looking forward to being part of SEC Nation and part of ESPN."
On Monday, Yahoo's most searched athlete for 2013 signed a multi-year contract for ESPN's SEC Network pregame show starting this August.
He will be among the crew who will be travelling to Southeastern Conference schools for SEC pregames.
Texas A&M will open the season at South Carolina where Tebow will first take his role as a football analyst in the show that will be exclusively aired by SEC Network. He will then head to Auburn on the 30th to cover the Tigers and Arkansas game.
Tim Tebow is still hoping to get included in any of the NFL team's roster for the next season saying:
"I'm not sure what's ahead of me," The 26-year old football star said. "I'm very excited to have this opportunity at ESPN, but who knows what the next few months will hold."
After being traded to the Jets, Tebow had a slow season and soon after he was released by the team, where he waited six agonizing weeks before Patriots signed him on as a backup quarterback.
"I don't have any regrets" about the NFL, former Heisman Trophy winner said. "I've just tried to focus on being a better quarterback, being a better athlete and being ready whenever a team gave me a call."
However, with a no money guarantee contract, Patriots also released him before the season starts and he has been unemployed since then, not until ESPN hired him just recently.
"In terms of specific situations, I don't want to get ahead of ourselves and comment on any particular eventuality or scenario that you could put together," ESPN senior vice president for college networks programming, Justin Connolly said, claiming that he's importance as a football analyst is highly regarded and that it's possible for Tim Tebow to go back to NFL anytime soon. "But that's a key piece of this relationship and we're going to honor that and respect it."
