Tebow, who formerly served as quarterback for the Denver Broncos and the New York Jets, has made a name for himself both in the athletic world and pop culture as being a positive person unafraid of expressing his evangelical beliefs. He often tweets Bible verses or inspirational quotes from public figures such as Jackie Robinson, and his tweets are typically received with positive responses.
The former NFL quarterback has also shown he can have a likeable television personality, as seen through his recent T-Mobile commercials that aired during the Super Bowl, where he wore a variety of costumes and acted out comical situations for the one-minute spots. Additionally, Tebow recently picked up a job as a college football analyst for the ESPN network. The quarterback has vowed to carry his positive attitude into his new opportunity, saying that he can offer in-depth analysis while maintaining a civil and positive tone.
"I would love to continue to be someone that is positive but also be someone that is objective," Tebow told reporters earlier in 2014.
"I have never had a hard time saying what I believe or standing up for something, and hopefully, I can continue to be that same person as an analyst and sharing what I believe about players, about teams, about games."
