Tim Tebow will not call himself a retired football player though he could see himself as a future coach. A career in politics also could be appealing down the road.One thing is for sure, hell always be a Gator.The 2007 Heisman Trophy winner and former Florida quarterback is getting prepared to begin another season as an analyst with the SEC Network and ESPN. He also is working with the Allstate American Football Coaches Association Good Works Team, which honors college football players for their community service and good deeds. Tebow was a member of the 2009 Good Works Team and is now trying to put a spotlight on how other football players -- such as Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson -- are making a difference away from the field.Its even more important in this day and age, in todays culture where we have so much dividing us, Tebow said in a brief phone interview Wednesday. We have so many, 165, young people that have the pressure of competing for their schools and teams and in the classroom and they are still finding ways to help others. They are making huge impacts and changing peoples lives.Tebow, who turns 29 next month, was a first-round draft pick for the Denver Broncos in 2010 before being traded to the New Jets in 2012. Since then he has been to training camp with New England (2013) and Philadelphia (2015), but both times was cut.Asked if he considers himself a retired football player, Tebow laughs and affably avoids the question.I think I consider myself someone that is so blessed to do what I love to do and to be around the game of college football and to be able to be part of something that was so much a part of my life since I was a little boy, he said. But also Ive got a lot of different things going on right now.His new book, Shaken, which comes out in about a month, covers the disappointments of his professional career. He is the co-host of Home Free, a Fox show in which couples compete for a home, but ultimately everyone wins. And the Tim Tebow Foundation is now in 16 countries and growing, he said.Where does his future lie? Hard to say. Both coaching and politics are alluring.I love what coaching is, he said. I love the fact that coaching is teaching and its helping and its mentoring and its loving and its being a father figure. That is something that has always intrigued me.There were rumors and speculation that Tebow was asked to attend and speak at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland last week. He declined to address them, again politely laughing off the question.As for a career in politics, Tebow said it fits his view of a life of service to others.My goal has always been able to make the biggest impact that I possible could in peoples lives. If I thought this is the right avenue, this would work, then I would be totally up for going down that path. Do I feel like thats right now? No, not necessarily, he said. Could it happen in the future? Yeah, I definitely wouldnt write that off.Tebow helped Florida win two national championships under coach Urban Meyer, and he remains close with the Ohio State coach, his family and members of the Buckeyes staff. His loyalty, though, remains unquestionably with his alma mater.Coach Meyer is like a father figure to me, Tebow said. But Im a Gator. Ive been a Gator since I was a little boy. My mom and dad were Gators. I had two siblings that were Gators and Ill always be a Gator. So if theyre playing in the national championship (Florida and Ohio State), Coach Meyer might have to be Gator bait.

Balmain great Tim Brasher has backed Jarryd Hayne for the NSW fullback spot ahead of James Tedesco despite the Wests Tigers star impressing in the No.1 jersey this year.Gold Coasts Hayne has missed the last two State of Origin series to pursue his NFL dream, but former Blues custodian Brashers preference is for him at fullback, with Tedesco slotted in either on the wing, at centre or on the bench.If Haynes playing great footy, hes got to get the spot, Brasher told AAP.Hes the best weve got at his best.But I think you have to find a spot for Tedesco. Hed be great in the squad either way.Brasher said the 23-year-old Tedesco, who debuted for the Blues this year, needed an injury-free NRL season after his season was cut short when he missed the ninth-placed Tigers finals push with a broken jaw.It was the most recent of a string of frustrating setbacks during his five-year career.His problem is going to be staying on the field, Brasher said.When hes playing hes fantastic. Hes one of the best out there.But his big thing is being consistent and staying injury-freee.dddddddddddd If he does that, I think hell be good enough to make the Origin team no matter where they put him.As for the Tigers, former star Brasher said their best chance in 2017 was to sneak into the eight and give it a shake in the finals.He predicted the clubs off-contract stars including Aaron Woods, Mitchell Moses and Luke Brooks would remain at the club as they push for a premiership in coming years.Theyre mature enough to start being a force but they still have that odd game where things dont go right at all, Brasher said from the Jack Newton Classic in the Hunter Valley.What those guys do have is a bond and theyll take a little bit less to stay together.But, in saying that, when it comes to it, youve got a short time in rugby league and no one can begrudge anyone for getting what theyre worth.He also defended the signing of former Penrith centre Jamal Idris, who took a years break from the game, as a calculated risk.
