University of Florida Quarterback Tim Tebow met with the Senate this morning. No it wasn’t about steroid allegations. They called Timmy in to award him the Medallion of Excellence for his achievements off the field. It’s the highest honor given by the chamber.
Sen. Jim Wise of Jacksonville said, “What a guy,” while wearing a blue baseball cap with a Superman shield with a “T” on it instead of an “S.” I’m not sure if Senator Wise is impressed with Tebow’s on the field production, his 3.7 GPA, or his missionary work. What’s not to love?
Tim was humble the entire time. “Wow, it’s an honor to be here…. To meet all of you, it’s a dream come true,” he said. And what’s great, is you know Tebow means every word of it. He knows where he came from and what his purpose is. “Football is a means to an end, and that ends for me is to be a role model.”
That is really cool!
