Tim Tebow is hoping to continue pursuing an NFL career while working at ESPN and while teams like the Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars or St. Louis Rams could be options down the line, the former Florida Gators QB may have a talent for working on television, as he picked Florida State to win in his television debut for ESPN at the national championship game and he almost got the final BCS score correct as well.
Tebow signed a deal to work on the SEC Network for ESPN and he made his debut for the network on Monday night in Pasadena, working the pregame for the BCS National Championship game with Mark May, Rece Davis and Lou Holtz and before the matchup. Davis asked Tebow to pick the score and he ended up missing the final by one point, going with 35-31, missing the 34-31 score by just a point and maybe Tebow has some better forecasting skills than people previously imagined.
Jameis Winston led his team on a comeback against Auburn after the Tigers took the lead late in the fourth quarter and he took his team down the field and hit Kelvin Benjamin for the winning score. The SEC had won the last seven championships and now that is over and Winston won the championship and the Heisman trophy in the same season. Tebow previously won the Heisman and national championships at Florida and now he is on TV and he hopes that his future will be in the NFL.
Tebow worked with Trent Dilfer before coming to ESPN and in a recent segment the two discussed his future and how he has developed as a passer and while he did not get on an NFL roster this past season, he is looking to get back into the league next season if he can despite the TV gig. The Browns, Jaguars and Rams are realistic options, but there are no signs that those teams will actually sign Tebow. He played sparingly with the Jets and did not make the season roster for the Patriots, but Tebow has said that he will continue working to get back to the NFL.
