New York Jets Quarterback Tim Tebow
Tebow, the son of missionaries, played for the University of Florida and won the Heisman Trophy in 2007 as the best college football player in America.
He was drafted by the Denver Broncos and became a lightning rod for both fans and critics when he began kneeling on the field to pray after scoring touchdowns, and praising God during post-game press conferences.
“If you’re married and you have a wife, and you really love your wife, is it good enough to only say to your wife ‘I love you’ the day you get married? Or should you tell her every single day when you wake up and every opportunity?”’ he said in an ESPN interview.
“And that’s how I feel about my relationship with Jesus Christ is that it is the most important thing in my life. So anytime I get an opportunity to tell Him that I love Him or am given an opportunity to shout Him out on national TV, I’m gonna take that opportunity.”
After Tebow came off the bench last season to lead the 1-4 Broncos to a 7-4 finish and their first postseason in six years, he was traded to the New York Jets when the Broncos signed four-time NFL Most Valuable Player Peyton Manning to a free agent contract.
