Tim Tebow is pronouncing himself "the best that I've ever been as a quarterback."
Days after the three-year NFL veteran who last played in the league in 2012 announced he has signed on with ESPN as an SEC Network analyst, Tebow told NFL.com "I hope I get an opportunity to show that."
ESPN announced the new network will formally launch in August and Tebow, 26, hinted he plans to continue training five days a week toward an NFL comeback. "I want to continue to pursue my dream of playing quarterback in the NFL," he later tweeting "who knows what the next few months will hold?"
In the meantime, Tebow's main role at ESPN will be to appear on "SEC Nation," a Saturday morning pregame show that will travel to league campuses each week. He will make his network debut during the station's coverage of the BCS championship game on Jan. 6.
Tebow was part of two national title teams at Florida -- he was a backup on the 2006 team and the starter in 2008. He won the Heisman in 2007 and led Florida to a 12-1 record as a senior in 2009
As for the kind of analyst he expects to be, Tebow told NFL.com "I would love to continue to be someone that is positive but also be someone that is objective. I have never had a hard time saying what I believe or standing up for something, and hopefully, I can continue to be that same person as an analyst and sharing what I believe about players, about teams, about games."
