Tim Tebow Joins 'Good Morning America' as Contributor

Former NFL and Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow is set to join the television talk show Good Morning America as a contributor.

Philiana Ng of The Hollywood Reporter shared details of the reported move:

"

Already ingrained in the Disney-ABC family as an ESPN analyst, Tebow officially makes his debut on the current No. 1 morning talk show as the newest contributor on Sept. 15.

In his new role, Tebow is expected to appear in the GMA studio and in cities across the U.S. as he launches GMA's "Motivate Me Monday" series, which spotlights individuals and their stories of triumph.

"

Tebow is a former college football star who won the 2007 Heisman Trophy with the Gators. He also led the team to two SEC titles and two BCS National Championships during his time in Gainesville.

Subsequently, the Denver Broncos selected him in the first round of the 2010 NFL draft. Tebow played in 35 games with Denver and the New York Jets before being released by the New England Patriots ahead of the 2013 season.

Since that time, Tebow has joined ESPN as an analyst. Tim Brando of Fox Sports recently complimented the former quarterback on his skills on air with the SEC Network:

Despite his success as an analyst thus far, Tebow still hasn't given up on his dreams of playing football. The former quarterback spoke about that in January, per The Associated Press (via ESPN.com).

"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 said. "But I'm also looking forward to being part of 'SEC Nation' and part of ESPN."

In fact, Jason McIntyre of The Big Lead noted one team that might need to give Tebow a call:

A career in the NFL hasn't quite worked out thus far, but it appears Tebow's analyst endeavors are working out for him. Drawing rave reviews from Brando and others, Tebow has proved he has the chops, and Good Morning America clearly believes he has talent.

Tebow's name might still be brought up whenever a starting quarterback is injured, but he hasn't been with a team since the Patriots. Given his praise thus far, expect to see the former Heisman winner enjoy more success as an analyst moving forward.
