Well, I guess Tebow didn’t need much time at all to land back on his feet after the Jaguars cut him loose following a brief stint with the team.
I think we all knew he’d be OK, but this job is a hell of a lot better than just doing OK. This is a major spot for the Florida Heisman winner.

Tebow has always been great on TV. He’s a natural when it comes to lighting up our screens. Now, he has his biggest opportunity yet.
If he goes out there and crushes it every Friday on “First Take,” then he could be on a path to host his own ESPN show.
At that point, he’d probably make more money than he ever did in the NFL.
Thankful for the highs and even the lows, the opportunities, and the setbacks. I’ve never wanted to make decisions out of fear of failure and I’m grateful for the chance to have pursued a dream…
