Tebow, with seven percent of the vite for favorite NFL quarterback, finished ahead of Russell Wilson, Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger and Drew Brees. He also got 10 percent of the vote for least favorite quarterback, and only Tom Brady (29 percent) was disliked more.
The other QBs included in the polls were Peyton Manning, Cam Newton and Aaron Rodgers.
The former Heisman winner has expressed his interest in still wanting to pursue his dream of having a career in the NFL, but for now, he’s a college football analyst for SEC Network.
Tebow made 16 starts in the NFL, posting a 9-7 record in those games while going 1-1 in the playoffs.
