The former Denver Broncos quarterback spoke for 35 minutes on the podium as he took questions from the assembled media.

"It's such an honour for me to be here. I'm so excited to be a Jet," he stated following his trade last week.

Tebow was asked about how he saw himself fitting in on his new team and also a possible battle with current incumbent Mark Sanchez to be the starting play-caller.

"I want to be able to help this team any way I can, whatever the role is," he added.

"Every time you put on a uniform you want go go out and play and compete. I want to get better as a quarterback and figure out how I can help this team any way I can."

On the Sanchez situation, he added: "I am excited about being on the same team as Mark. I have a lot of respect for him as a player and a man and we are going to have a lot of fun together."

Tebow was also quick to pay tribute to his previous employers.

"I would like to thank my Broncos team-mates and the Broncos fans. I had a great time in Denver."
