Who is Tim Tebow?
Who is Tim Tebow? So many people have been trying to say who he is. Some say he's a Christian, some say he's an "All Time Great". But really who is Tim Tebow?
Who is he?
Timothy Richard Tebow was born August 14, 1987, in the City of Makati in the Philippines. The youngest of 5, Tim's parents worked in the mission field. His mother home schooling all 5 children was a hassle, but his parents still gave him his education and the love of Jesus. This helped him become the man he is today. This also has a role in the media coverage on him today. Tim doesn't just show his faith off the field. He shows it on the field too.
High School
Tim attended Allen D. Nease High School. While he was there he got the chance to become a member of the Varsity football team. As a starting quarterback, he had a total of 9,940 passing yards with 95 passing touchdowns. He also had 3,169 rushing yards with a total of 63 rushing touchdowns. After he left Nease, he had a total of 378 point scored his senior year of high school. This was the beginning of his football career. The best was right around the corner. College was his next moment to shine.
College
Colleges all over the country wanted Tim. But only one college out of all of them stood out, Florida. Tim's most successful point of his career was in college. As a football player at Florida, he had a total of 9,285 passing yards with 88 touchdowns. He also had a total of 2,947 rushing yards with a total of 57 rushing touchdowns. As a Senior he also got the Heisman award in 2007 and several other awards. Tim's performances were tight scored games and he also had amazing comeback wins.
Off the Field
When Tim got into the NFL he started his first charity in his professional career. His charity, the Tim Tebow Foundation, was a faith based outreach program for kids in the U.S. and the Philippines. Also, he supported charities all over the world. While he was playing he would get on one knee and would pray before and after each game. This became known as "Tebowing".
