F2:Tim Tebow: How He took the Nation by Storm

When Tebow came out of high school he was a highly touted player. He had actually committed to Florida over Alabama that just makes one wonder how history might be different. Tim Tebow took the college scene by storm and it wasn’t before long that Tebow became a legend down in Florida. Tebow won the Heisman in 2007 and led the Florida Gators to a National Championship. That season Tebow had one of the greatest seasons in NFL history rushing for 23 touchdowns and 895 yards. He threw for 3286 yards and 32 touchdowns that season as well. Two years later Tebow would help lead Florida to another Championship title, this time over the potent offense of the Oklahoma Sooners. Tim Tebow would end up beating the Heisman winner Sam Bradford in that game. But it wasn’t the game that was in the spotlight it was Tim Tebow’s emotional halftime speech he gave that was really the rallying cry for the Gators. Tebow would up getting drafted by the Denver Broncos. Tebow sat for much of his rookie season. The next season Tebow was jolted into the spotlight when the Broncos started off 1-4. Tebow led the Broncos on a magic carpet ride; the ride included a game against the Chiefs where he was 2 for 8 and still won the game. Against the Jets on Thursday Tebow rushed for a touchdown that Jim Leonard can still see in his dreams has Tebow juked him to get into the end zone and win the game with about a minute to play. Against the Bears Tebow beat the Bears on a touchdown pass and three field goals by Matt Prater that were all longer than 50 yards. Tebow helped the Broncos win the AFC West at 8-8 and they even won a playoff game over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tebow played great against the vaunted Steelers defense. He helped the Broncos get to overtime, where history was made. On the first play of overtime form the 20 yard line Tebow threw a slant to Demaryuis Thomas who took it the distance to score a touchdown. The next week Tebow went into New England and the Patriots found the secret for Tebow’s college style offense. Many thought Tebow would have another shot in Denver, but it turns out that John Elway the VP of Player Personnel wanted a different style of quarterback. That off season the Broncos signed the former 4 time MVP Peyton Manning. That was followed by Tebow being traded to the New York Jets. There we have just about seen everything from Tebow, he has played quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end, and is even the personal protector on punt. I believe that Tebow has the ability to be a great passer in the NFL because he has determination, the work ethic and the passion to make himself into a great passer. After last season I thought that Tebow might be the chosen one for the Broncos, but John Elway thought differently, one must wonder when Tebow will be the chosen one or if he ever will be.
