A viral video showing a fan's priceless reaction to meeting Tim Tebow is currently circulating the internet.

The video, recorded during Tebow's hosting gig for the ESPN Network, shows the former Florida Gators star handing a piece of cake to a Tennessee Volunteers fan attending the game in Knoxville. As Tebow hands the fan the piece of cake, the young woman, visibly excited, begins to cry and hug Tebow, presumably in shock after meeting one of her favorite athletes and sportscasters.

Tebow had sought out the eager fan because she was holding a sign that read: "We're only here for Tebow."

The former college quarterback and evangelical Christian was also photographed visiting Tennessee athletes at their practice ahead of their game. Sports Illustrated points out that photos taken by onlookers show Tebow attending the practice wearing Tennessee Volunteers shorts, an image that is likely to irk the Florida Gators, his fan base for his college days.

"You never know who you'll see working out on Rocky Top. #TebowTime," the Tennessee Volunteers tweeted on their official page, along with a photo of Tebow shaking some of the players' hands.

Tebow has previously said that although he is thankful for his current gig as an ESPN analyst for the SEC Network, he hopes to one day get back on the field and play professional football. After playing for the Florida Gators, Tebow went on to play for the Denver Broncos and New York Jets.
