Many have wondered whether Tim Tebow will be at the Super Bowl on Sunday with his former Broncos team playing the Seahawks and now fans get their answer, as the NFL quarterback and ESPN analyst will host "Good Morning America" as a guest host on Friday before SB XLVIII and the GMA team has put up a number of promotions and commercials to hype up his appearance.
Tebow spent last year with the New York Jets before he was released by the team and after being picked up by the New England Patriots in training camp the team kept him on until the preseason was over and then released him as well. Tebow has been out of the league since then and while he hasn't gotten much of a sniff from anyone apart from some internal talks with the Rams, he still feels he can pursue and NFL career.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Tebow will guest host GMA on Friday before the Super Bowl and this comes after the quarterback signed a deal to be an analyst on ESPN for their SEC Network and now he is crossing brands to ABC and will be filling in and will host alongside the GMA team. Tebow is a big draw for many fans despite the fact that he hasn't been able to hang on with an NFL team this season and while he did not get signed this season, Tebow has said that he will continue trying to get on an NFL roster as he works with ESPN.
Tebow has been working to improve his throwing ability and the fact that he is hosting GMA comes after he previously spent time with the Broncos. In a way, Tebow and Peyton Manning are linked, as the veetran was signed after he was released by the Colts and that led to the Broncos, who drafted Tebow, to trade him to the New York Jets and that deal did not turn out well for him. Tebow led the Broncos to the playoffs and an upset win over the Steelers before getting traded and when he was with the Jets he was barely used and now he gets the chance to move into TV.
Tebow will be involved with GMA and likely will be around for the Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford and the game has a great matchup with the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos and this will be a big platform for him to speak from. Tebow has a future career in TV and hosting GMA could be a start to a more lucrative job later down the line with ESPN, ABC or another network, similar to what people like Josh Elliot and others have done, moving from ESPN to ABC.
