Tim Tebow must have made a good impression during his co-hosting stint at the top of the year.

E! News has learned that the former NFL player will be joining Good Morning America as a contributor beginning Monday, Sept. 15.

ABC announced today that the first-ever college sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy will help launch GMA's "Motivate Me Monday" series, featuring individuals and their amazing stories of triumph. Tebow will appear in studio and live on location in towns across America with a wide-range of reports that motivate and inspire.

Sounds perfect for him, right?!

After becoming a free agent, the former New York Jets quarterback decided to test the waters in television, and it's clearly been working out in his favor.

Late last year, Tebow signed a multiyear broadcasting deal with ESPN, which included covering college football for the new SEC Network this summer.

"I am so excited that ESPN has given me this incredible opportunity," Tebow tweeted at the time. "When I was six years old I fell in love with the game of football and while I continue to pursue my dream of playing quarterback in the NFL, this is an amazing opportunity to be a part of the unparalleled passion of college football and the SEC."

Congratulations on the new gig, Tim!
