Tim Tebow Excited to Grace Cover of 'NCAA Football 11' Tim Tebow is a larger-than-life personality, someone who seems like he can be all over the field at once. While he might not see the field as much in the NFL as he did at Florida, his face will be plastered all over the country on the cover of EA Sports' NCAA Football 11.

In an interview with ESPN.com, Tebow talked about the difference between real-life football and the virtual version, professing that he does spend a lot of time sitting down in front of the console — though he rarely plays as himself.

"To be honest, I don't actually play as Florida a lot," Tebow told the Web site. "Even the last four years, I haven't played as them too often because they're really good in the game and it's too much of an advantage for whoever is playing as them."

Tebow also uses his time gaming to give back to the community, getting involved at the Shands Hospital in Gainesville by helping to build a play room.

"These games give these kids who are going through some of the most dramatic things in their lives — they have brain tumors, they have cancer, they're going through radiation and chemo — but these games give these kids the opportunity to get them out of their lives for a few minutes and just dream and have fun and play and put smiles on their faces," Tebow said. "That's what it's all about for me."

He might not want to throw an interception — real or virtual — but Tebow is quick to give.
