FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Tim Tebow got his first New York close-up Monday.
And he handled it all with the same cool approach — smiling, polite, composed — that has won over so many football fans around the country.
Speaking at news conference in the Jets' field house, because the media crush so great the session couldn't be held in the team's normal press room, the headline-grabbing New York backup QB went out of his way to play down any conflict between himself and starter Mark Sanchez.
"Me and Mark have a great relationship," Tebow said. "We've been friends the past three years and have already texted back and forth. We are going to have a great working relationship and I think we'll have a lot of fun together."
Acquired last Wednesday from Denver, the exciting but flawed quarterback is coming off a season of incredible comebacks with the Broncos, taking them from a 1-4 record to the playoffs. The Jets are hoping he has more surprises left in him.
"Hopefully, by me being here, we can be a little bit better," Tebow said, decked out in a gray suit and a light green tie. "I think I can add something, and that's my hope and prayer."
