The former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has not decided which team’s NFL jersey to put on for his pro career, but he has already been considered to be a super-star-like player whose autograph is wanted by many people even at high price.
According to the Florida Times-Union, Tebow appeared Saturday at Palm Beach Autograph, and an estimated crowd of 1,500 people were in attendance to pay $160 for a Tebow autograph. Per the reports, part of the proceeds will go to the Tim Tebow Foundation. Besides the autograph, event attendees could also chip in $75 for photos with Tebow.
“It’s an honor to have people want to want you and want to have your autograph and want to be around you. That’s special to have an opportunity to sign for people, but it’s more special to be able to do things like we’re doing and being able to really just brighten kids’ days in really their darkest hour of need, which is a lot of what my foundation is about.” Tebow said. “I’m just so excited that I have the opportunity to do this and just make a difference in kids’ lives.”
Even not a pro NFL player yet, Tebow has been busy with public-service activities. Before the autograph-signing event, he went to Jacksonville’s Brooks Rehabilitation Center on Friday to visit a teenager who was shot by another teen in January. In preparation for his NFL career, he is also scheduled to conduct individual workouts for the Buffalo Bills and the Seattle Seahawks following his Pro Day workout.
