No one’s quite sure where Tim Tebow will go in the NFL draft, but one thing’s for certain, the former Heisman Trophy winner is a valuable commodity no matter what his draft position. Witness the autograph signing session he held last Saturday in Jacksonville, FL.
Tebow signed 500 autographs at $160 per pop and 500 photos at $75 each at a Jacksonville mall, for a total of almost $120,000. An undisclosed amount of the money due Tebow is going to Tebow’s charitable foundation and Palm Beach Autographs, the company running the signing is also directing a portion of their proceeds to his foundation.
It’s not the only session that Tebow has scheduled this spring and it is a sizable figure, but for anyone who wants to complain about the money Tebow will be making, remember this, people are willing to pay the price. He’s never made money from all the jersey sales with his name on it that Florida has piled up over the past four years and has been as good a university spokesman that anyone could ever expect.
He’s getting what he’s worth. I’ve never been a huge Tebow fan, but he deserves whatever the market will bear as long as it will bear it.
