Coming soon: “Tim Tebow’s Wild Rise” from E!

If that title raises concern, E! says the 30-minute special explores “his extraordinary success on the football field, coupled with his religious devotion and infectious charm.”

The program about the new New York Jet premieres at 8 p.m. July 2.

The speakers witnessing to Tebow’s gifts and character include close friends, former high school and college football coaches, sports journalists and pop culture experts, E! said.

A sampling of comments from sports journalists:

“I think this whole nice boy Captain America image is the biggest thing going for him. If he didn’t have it, then what would we be talking about?” asks Ryan Brockington, a New York journalist.

“I don’t expect we’re going to see a lot of pictures of Tim Tebow tweeted with his shirt off, dancing drunkenly in clubs,” says Gary Belsky, a columnist for Time.com. “I think he’ll do just fine in New York. Having said that, I think the media will be on 24/7 alert waiting for a Tim Tebow slip up.”

Will you be watching?
