Tim Tebow is arguably the greatest college football player of all-time.
Winner of two national championships, along with a Heisman Trophy, Tebow was an absolute legend for the Florida Gators.
An upcoming FX television series will feature Tebow and those Gators … But the main focus will be on Tim’s murderous teammate, Aaron Hernandez.
Titled “American Sports Story,” the series will be written and produced by Ryan Murphy.
As far as who’s playing Tebow in the show??? … Well, it’s none other than Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son, Patrick.
The news was shared by Schwarzenegger on X, where he expressed his excitement about taking on the challenging role.
“Pumped to formally announce that I’m playing Tim Tebow in the FX series on Aaron Hernandez. Wild & insane story. Thankful to @ryanmurphyprod for giving me opportunity & believing in me,” he tweeted.

Patrick Schwarzenegger has been carving his own path in the entertainment industry, following in the footsteps of his famous father.
With a background in modeling and acting, he was featured in films such as “The Benchwarmers,” “Grown Ups 2,” and “Moxie” – as well as TV shows such as “Scream Queens,” “The Staircase,” and “Gen V.”
Murphy, known for his success with true crime dramas, previously tackled the NFL in his critically acclaimed 2016 series, “The People v. O. J. Simpson: American Crime Story,” which won eight Emmy Awards.
The upcoming “American Sports Story” will focus on the intertwined lives of Aaron Hernandez and Tim Tebow during their three seasons together at the University of Florida.
