Why We All Need Tim Tebow To Succeed
There was a time when I didn't care for Tim Tebow a whole lot. He wrecked my Florida State Seminoles every year he played against them when he was the Quarterback of the Evil Empire (aka University of Florida ). There was a time when I was critical of the way he wore his faith on his sleeve pretty much everywhere he happened to be. Two things happened that changed all of that. First, he was drafted by the Denver Broncos , which happens to be my favorite NFL team---like my childhood NFL team that I've been cheering for since I was ten. When this happened I forgot all about the fact that he was a Gator. He became a Bronco and that was it. The second reason is way more important, though. Tebow became my son's favorite athlete, and when I realized this I also realized how wrong I'd been about the guy. Because my son saw him as a guy who had overcome tons of obstacles, ignored the haters who told him he would never play QB in high school... or in college...
