Tim Tebow announces new job, and it's not on the playing field

ESPN has hired Tim Tebow as an analyst for the fledgling SEC Network which will launch next August.

Here’s the rest of Tebow’s Twitter statement:

…while I continue to pursue my dream of playing quarterback in the NFL, this is an amazing opportunity to be a part of…

…the unparalleled passion of college football and the SEC.

Tebow will reportedly make his on-air debut during the BCS National Championship game on January 6th.

Even though Tebow has for now traded in the football field for the broadcast booth, the criticism won’t necessarily subside:

@TimTebow this isn't Facebook let's try to keep it to 140 thanks
