Colorado’s evangelical community can barely contain its excitement over the presence of Tebow, who is widely known for his missionary work.

Les Shapiro is new to talk radio after spending 25 years as a television sports anchor in Denver. But just a year into his new gig, he and his weekday morning co-host have discovered a surefire way to build ratings.

Tebow might be the No. 3 quarterback on the depth chart when the Broncos open training camp Sunday, but he’s been the No. 1 subject in town since the Broncos traded three draft picks for the right to select him No. 25 overall in April’s NFL Draft.

Broncos fans didn’t know quite what to expect when the team added Tebow – a college legend with questionable passing mechanics – to a roster that already had two veteran quarterbacks…
