I don’t know if the “Four Horsemen” went shirtless, but the greatest college football player of the modern era has stripped for the new issue of GQ.
Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is shirtless for a feature story in the magazine this month.
The Timteblog has the details.
Of course, Florida comes to Kentucky on Sept. 26. Tebow is expected to be wearing his jersey, his pads, and a long winning streak over the Cats.
Alexis Stevens of the AJC also writes about Tebow showing off his chest.
Writes Stevens:
Now football fans, and maybe just Tebow fans, can see exactly what’s under that No. 15 jersey. All 6-foot-3, 235 pounds of him.
Can another shirtless player top that?
Jeremy Fowler also writes about it for the Orlando Sentinel.
In what is a nod to college football and Florida Gator issue, the magazine also has Erin Andrews in muddy shoulder pads.
Because that’s what Jesus would do. I’m surprised he didn’t turn water into Gatorade or walk on swamp water for them instead. They say this kid is humble–right.
It looks like an ad for Schmitz Beer, if anyone remembers that.
Can’t wait to see how he fares as a tight end in the NFL b/c he won’t be playing quarterback.
I think he will play quarterback in the NFL. He’s not a great passer, but he can line up in that Wildcat position, and either run or throw. It’ll be interesting to see what the Eagles do with Vick. That could be a prototype for what a future NFL team will do with Tebow.
After seeing his picture, now I know what I want for Christmas.
I dislike all things Gator, but there is nothing hypocritical about this photo and his religion. He has every right to pursue the type of publicity that will generate hype for his team, his program, and himself. He is hoping to make a career out of football. The publicity from this GQ shoot and other magazines will get him awards and maybe even a higher draft pick. He is wearing more than he would at the pool. He isn’t doing a porno for GQ nor posing as a thug.
John, I don’t know if he is a NFL QB or not. I’m not sure he is the prototype Wildcat type though. Sure, at UF, he can run over people, and I’m sure he will knock an NFL CB on his tail, but most of those Wildcat guys are speedy type runners. Tebow is more like a FB that can throw than a RB/WR that can throw (like Vick). NFL defenses will lay a bigger stick on him than college defenses, though he did do most of his damage against the best college defenses in the country. I would think he would be effective in such a position at times though.
Don’t know about everyone else, but I wouldn’t have minded seeing the pictures the other way around. Tim Tebow with the muddy shoulder pads and Erin Andrews without her… well you know. Before anyone says it, no, I don’t look through peepholes.
If you are not a Gator, you are Gator bait…I can see why you would dislike all things Gator, YOU ARE GATOR BAIT..I love it!!!!! Keep Haiting like Noah use to say! We thrive off it!!!!
@pkflorence – I’m with you, I want that for christmas too, and it doesn’t have to be wrapped.
