Tim Tebow is going from the Sugar Bowl to the Super Bowl or at least to an appearance on a Super Bowl commercial. Typical Super Bowl Commercials usually focus on beer, soft drinks, fast food, cars and trucks. Tim Tebow’s Super Bowl commercial won’t be typical.

The Associated Press is reporting Tim Tebow will be featured in an ad for Focus on the Family. Focus on the Family is a Christian group led by Jim Daly. Tim’s mom, Pam, is also to appear in the commercial. Tim Tebow has been very involved in his Christian faith from working on missionary trips to putting bible verses under his eyes during games. Tim’s commercial appearance is just another step in his Christian faith.

Tim Tebow garnered star appeal being the quarterback at the University of Florida football team. During Tebow’s time as a Gator, the team won two National Championships, appeared in the SEC Championship three times, won a Heisman Trophy, won a Sugar Bowl and set all kinds of records in between. The success Tim had in college brought him hype and made him one of the most recognizable players in college football. Focus on the Family picked Tebow because of how recognized he is and how recognized he is for his Christian beliefs.

Super Bowls have become a show case for commercials. The Super Bowl is one of the most watched events and therefore one of the most expensive commercial spots. The Super Bowl often debuts many new commercials and advertising campaigns. It is great Tim will be able to share the spotlight of the ad with his mom. Having watched several Florida Gator football games it is obvious his parents were very supportive of their son being at most of his games (if not all).

The commercial will give Tim Tebow fans one more chance to see him. Tim will likely be busy playing in the Senior Bowl and working out for the NFL combines before the draft in April.
