Tim Tebow has gone Hollywood.
The Hollywood website The Wrap says the aspiring NFL quarterback has signed with talent group Creative Artists Agency to handle his employment in the nonsports arena. That work includes any possible endorsement or book deals, along with any on-camera work in TV and movies.
The Wrap cites Tebow's off-the-field popularity -- remember Tebowing? -- as possiblities for his entry into mainstream media. The Orlando Sentinel speculates there could be a market for Tebow to broadcast college football games for ESPN or Fox Sports.
"Maybe Tebow could help broadcast the Gator Bowl -- that's at least one way to get him to Jacksonville!" the Sentinel squeals.
Tebow has already penned an autobiography, "Through My Eyes," released in 2011. He currently has endorsement deals with Nike, TiVO and Jockey.
CAA Sports, which has represented Tebow since 2012, will still try to find Tebow work on a football field. That may be harder to do.
Tebow was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the (25th overall) in the 2010 NFL Draft. The former Heisman Trophy winner was primarily a backup until leading the Broncos to the playoffs in the 2011 season and shocking the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Divisional Playoffs.
As a consequence of the Broncos signing future Hall of Fame quaterback Peyton Manning, Tebow was traded to the New York Jets in the 2011 offseason. In New York, Tebow again served primarily as backup and in "Wildcat" formations. He was released having thrown just 8 passes for the Jets.
The New England Patriots took a chance on Tebow signing him in June before releasing him on Aug. 31, 2013. He has yielded little to no interest on the open market.
