You can have Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and all your LeBron Jameses. It still seems nobody moves the needle in American sport quite like Tim Tebow.
The former Denver Broncos quarterback, who also had spells at New England and the New York Jets, has signed for the Philadelphia Eagles in the most publicised deal for a potential third-string player in NFL history.

The move was widely ridiculed on Twitter:
