After leaving ESPN as an SEC Analyst to give the NFL another go for the Philadelphia Eagles, ESPN has released a statement welcoming Tim Tebow back when his career is over. When will that be?

After his first stint in the NFL came to an end, Tim Tebow joined ESPN as an SEC Analyst and did a lot of coverage for the first ever College Football Playoff.

With the Philadelphia Eagles giving Tebow another chance in the NFL, his days at ESPN have come to an end for now.

After it was announced that he was leaving the desk for the gridiron, ESPN congratulated Tebow on his return to the NFL.

Not only did they congratulate him in the statement they released, ESPN said he has a spot with the company whenever his playing days are over.

"“We appreciate Tim’s contributions to the launch of SEC Network and wish him all the best as he pursues his NFL dream.   Tim quickly established a tremendous rapport with everyone he worked with in front of and behind the camera.   He has a tireless work ethic and a unique passion for football. Tim developed quickly into an excellent analyst. He has a home at ESPN when his playing career is done.” – John Wildhack, ESPN Executive Vice President, Programming and Production"

It’s not surprising that they will welcome him back with open arms. In his first stint, he was one of their most discussed topics. When he joined the company, he did an outstanding job in his coverage and was a prominent analyst for them.

He definitely showed that he can be a great analyst and much more for the worldwide leader in sports.

As for when his return will be, that’s a completely different question. His shot with the Eagles, has to be his last shot if he can’t succeed now.

If his time in Philadelphia does not work out and he doesn’t make the regular season roster at the end of August, that could be plenty of time for him to return just in time for another exciting season of SEC Football.

If he does make the team and is a featured part of their offense, or is given a specific role on the team, then it will be a little longer and will last for as long as his football career does.

If he proves in Philadelphia he can do something in this league to last, that could earn him another contract at which point it could be a couple of years or more until he’s back behind the desk or up in the booth.

Who knows if he will even return at all? Tebow carries a large brand off the field and could potentially have many other ventures and endeavors he could pursue.

Still, he did a tremendous job at ESPN and working there allows him to keep his face on TV every week.

Tim Tebow is getting one more crack at making an NFL roster. As a result, it might be a while until his fans see him back at ESPN. On the bright side, they will get to see him on the field instead.
