Tim Tebow isn’t acting like someone who’s settled into an analyst role

Share

Tim Tebow is going to be ready when football season rolls around. He’s been working out hard with a quarterback guru in L.A. and a trainer for NFL players in Scottsdale, Ariz.

One little thing, though -- Tebow is not a quarterback by profession at this point. Nor is he an NFL player. His job this football season, barring some unforeseen circumstances, will be as an analyst for the new SEC Network.

“One of my favorite quotes is, ‘I don’t know what my future holds, but I know who holds my future,’” Tebow told Phoenix TV station KSAZ during a recent workout. “And in that, it gives you peace to just continue to work, go after what your heart desires and when you do that, you don’t have any regrets. I think that’s the best way to live life.”

And even though Tebow already has a job lined up for the fall, what his heart seems to desire is another shot at the NFL, even though he hasn’t started a game since 2011 or been under contract with a team since last August.

It appears the grueling workouts he’s been taking part in of late have only encouraged the former Heisman Trophy winner and two-time national champion with the Florida Gators to continue pursuing his dream no matter what adversity comes his way.

“One of the greatest things it teaches is to keep fighting,” said Tebow, who has an opt-out clause in his contract with the SEC Network just in case an NFL team comes calling. “Maybe when the chips are down and you’re exhausted, you feel like you can’t keep going, it just teaches you to continue to keep fighting.”
