His arrival at the New York Jets has created a stir. And its not just Tim Tebow's record on the field that is causing excitement - at least as far as his female fans are concerned.
The 25-year-old shows off his muscular physique in this month's U.S. GQ magazine, posing in nothing other than a pair of clinging black Nike trousers.
He also fronts the magazine, covering up his body in a sort grey marl T-shirt. A 'G Thank You God' armband is prominently displayed over his head.

Sales had soared after he posed in his underwear for the firm, but Tebow was said to be less than happy with the image.
A spokesman for Jockey said that the image had been removed from the site simply to be replaced by one which 'reflected the end of the playoff run for the Denver Broncos.'
For his previous team the Denver Broncos Tebow became a hero with more late-game comebacks in his first 11 starts than any other NFL quarterback.
Back in January he was an integral part of the team as they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in the playoffs, putting them into the next round with an impressive pass to Demaryius Thomas in overtime.

Some have claimed he is overrated, but despite this Tebow has become something of a legend.
He has single-handedly inspired the craze known as Tebowing - where fans mimic the quarterback's pre-game prayer stance in photos posted to Facebook and Twitter.
Recently, a driver was spotted who took very direct inspiration from Tebow, adorning his car with the licence plate 'WWTD15' - or 'What would Tebow do?', followed by his jersey number.

the start of the football season, but his move to the New York Jets has
proved controversial
'Last time I said it, I got a lot of flak for it, but I don't care. There are a lot of role models. There just aren’t a lot of good ones,' he said.
'To me, that's so frustrating because you have in today's society so many famous athletes in baseball and basketball and football and golf, every sport there is,' he said.
'If we come together to be great role models it would be amazing to see how the next generation turns out.'
