What Is Tim Tebow's Net Worth and Salary?

Tim Tebow is a retired American professional football quarterback who has a net worth of $5 million. After an impressive college career at the University of Florida, Tim Tebow went on to play just three seasons in the NFL, two seasons with the Denver Broncos, and one season with the NY Jets. He also had stints with the New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles, and Jacksonville Jaguars, and he later switched his position to tight end in an effort to prolong his career. In 2023, Tim Tebow was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.

During his time with the Broncos, Tebow became known for publicly acknowledging his faith in God by dropping to one knee in a pose that looked much like Auguste Rodin's bronze sculpture "The Thinker" after scoring or making a great play. The genuflecting, signature move was coined "Tebowing" and proceeded to be mimicked throughout the country. The origin of the phrase came from fan Jared Kleinstein, who posted a photo on Facebook of him and all of his friends mimicking the stance. Kleinstein went on to set up a website showing photos submitted by people around the world showing their own version of Tebowing. The site had 20,000 submissions and 20 million page views after just two months. Tebow legally trademarked the name.

Tim enrolled at the University of Florida, and he played college football for the Gators, taking home the Heisman Trophy in 2007 and appearing on BCS National Championship-winning teams during the 2006 and 2008 seasons. After having what many consider one of the greatest college football careers ever, Tebow was selected by the Denver Broncos in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. As a member of the Denver Broncos, he started the last three games of his rookie season and became the team's full-time starting quarterback beginning in the sixth game of 2011. The Broncos were 1–4 before he became the starter, but they began winning with him on the field, often coming from behind late in the fourth quarter, until they won their first AFC West title and first playoff game since 2005, defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in overtime. Tebow was traded to the New York Jets during the offseason after the Broncos acquired free-agent quarterbackPeyton Manning. Tim received little playing time for the Jets and on April 29, 2013, the team released him after drafting quarterbackGeno Smith. He signed a two-year, non-guaranteed contract with New England on June 11, 2013, before being cut from the team on August 31, 2013.

In 2015, he joined the Philadelphia Eagles to compete for their third-string quarterback job. He was released after the preseason. Tim attempted a comeback to the NFL in 2021 when he reunited with coachUrban Meyerand worked out as a tight end for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Again, he was released before the regular season.
