"As someone who's positive, I'd love to continue to be someone who is positive," Tebow said about his mentality as an analyst. "I'd also like to be objective. I've never had a hard time saying what I believe."

GMA's set is in Times Square, which has been converted into "Super Bowl Boulevard" this week in honor of Super Bowl XLVIII. Eli Manning will also be in studio on Wednesday, according to Guthrie.

"During the broadcast, Tebow will join with NFL All-Stars to challenge chef Emeril Lagasse to a Super Bowl snack cook off," reports Chris Chase of USA Today.

Tebow was replaced as Denver's starting quarterback by Peyton Manning before the 2012 season.
