I wish I was in the position where I could turn down seven figure endorsement deals. It appears that Tim Tebow has currently reached that position…
According to the Memphis Commercial Appeal (via Ben Volin of the Palm Beach Post), Tebow has declined "some seven-figure per year deals" because he believed they would interfere with his focus on football. "I'm trying to work hard and not get my mind cluttered with all that," Tebow said. "When it gets to the point when something needs to be presented to me, I see it. Right now, it's all ball for me."
There are no guarantees that the endorsements and that type of money will be around forever. If he excels on the field, he is right, those offers will always be there. But…what if he doesn’t have a successful NFL career? What if he gets injured? At some point you have to think about the future instead of the here and now.
