Tim Tebow prefers to keep his options open as a free agent rather than retire from football, but he is interested in coaching and politics if such opportunities present themselves.
Tebow spoke to the Associated Press' Ralph D. Russo about his future in a report that ran Wednesday. He laughed and didn't directly answer a question about whether he considered himself a retired football player.
"I think I consider myself someone that is so blessed to do what I love to do and to be around the game of college football and to be able to be part of something that was so much a part of my life since I was a little boy," Tebow said.
