Tim Tebow’s Book Signing In Gainesville Attracted A Rather Insanely-Sized Crowd

There aren’t many athletes who have quite the name recognition of Tim Tebow. That’s rare for someone so unproven at the pro level, but his combination of college accomplishments and public image (wrapped up to a large degree in his ironclad religious beliefs) make him an incredibly prominent figure – loved by many, loathed by others (loved by many more, we’d venture to guess), but known by just about everyone.

And there’s nowhere Tebow is better known or loved than Gainesville, Fla., where he quarterbacked Florida so spectacularly and competed so fiercely. So it makes sense that residents of the city would gobble up copies of Tebow’s new autobiography, Through My Eyes. And if this footage from The Gainesville Sun (taken at a book signing in Gainesville on Thursday) is any indication, fans in Tebow’s old stomping grounds were especially eager…and voluminous.

Whoa. Although, judging by the fact that it opened at No. 6 on The New York Times‘ hardcover nonfiction bestseller list, it seems that everyone’s gobbling the book up. Safe to say, even if we wind up with no NFL season, Tebow won’t want for much. So hot…so cool.
