Brace yourselves football/morning news fans, because Tebowmania is coming to Good Morning America.

The ultimate nice-guy quarterback will be joining Good Morning America as a contributor, starting this Monday, September 15th. Tebow will be helping launch a segment series called "Motivate Me Mondays," focusing on inspirational stories that happen across the country.

Tim Tebow was the shining star of the NFL in 2011, with his multiple come-from-behind miracle victories making him a constant talking point in football discussions. Many criticized Tebow's lack of fundamentals as a quarterback and overabundant religious remarks, while others claimed his late game wins to be something of a miracle. Tebow's famous one-knee prayer before each game even became a meme known as "Tebowing," and no matter who you talked to, they always had an opinion on Tebow.

But once the Broncos signed Peyton Manning after the 2011 season, Tebow was traded to the New York Jets in 2012, and briefly played with the New England Patriots practice squad in 2013 before failing to get signed to another NFL team.

Tebow also is well-known as a Heisman-winning quarterback for the University of Florida, where he won two BCS championships in 2007 and 2009. Tebow also worked as an Analyst with ESPN.

What do you think of Tebow heading back to TV?
