Tim Tebow, a former first-round pick who spent one season with the New York Jets, is featured prominently in EA Sports College Football 25.
The recently launched EA Sports College Football 25 has been wildly popular and features an Ultimate Team mode. It is there that Tebow can be ‘unlocked’ as a Legend player.
The Jets traded for Tebow in 2012 after realizing how much they missed Brad Smith in their offense. Tebow spent just one season with the Jets, playing primarily as a personal punt protector and serving as a back-up quarterback.
He has joked about his time with the Jets where he rarely played.
Tebow’s time in college with Florida was far more successful. He won the Heisman in 2007 as the nation’s top player and won the national championship twice with the Gators.
His time with the Jets was essentially the final season of his NFL career.
Now, back to EA Sports College Football. Why is this a big deal? GatorsWire explains:
“For those unfamiliar, the Ultimate Team mode is an electronic card-collecting game where you can manage a team of superstar players that would normally never play together — making it an “ultimate team.” Cards can be purchased with in-game currency, real currency or by opening packs obtained through playing the game.
“The 90-overall Tebow card can be obtained by completing the Legends Season Champion set, which requires one of each season one Legends Champion cards. The Tebow card is among the toughest to get in the entire game, right now, and that feels right.”

In 2012 with the Jets, Tebow was 6-of-8 for 39 yards. He also ran 32 times for 102 yards.
