Tim Tebow Featured In USA Today

Florida Gator quarterback Tim Tebow was recently featured in a USA Today article. Like a lot of Tebow stories, this one dives into his off-the-field missionary work and what it will take for him to be a great NFL pro. You can read the entire article by Kelly Whiteside here. Below is an excerpt from the article:

As others wondered whether a third national championship and second Heisman Trophy would establish Florida quarterback Tim Tebow as the greatest player in college football history, Tebow spent the last eight months doing the usual.

He traveled to the Philippines on a missionary trip, visited hospitals and prisons, saw his Mississippi postgame speech get engraved on a plaque and placed outside the front entrance to the new football facility at Florida Field, was appointed by Florida’s governor as co-chair of the Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness, and met President Obama with the rest of his teammates at the White House after the team won its second national title in three years.

Beyond his extraordinary extracurricular activities, Tebow also spent part of the offseason tweaking his mechanics, including taking some snaps under center. Now that Dan Mullen, who worked closely with Tebow the past three years, is the head coach at Mississippi State, Tebow bonded with new quarterbacks coach Scot Loeffler, finding an instant comfort level. As an assistant at Michigan, Loeffler was among those who recruited Tebow out of high school.

I love reading all the publicity and positive reports around the country about Tim Tebow. No other college player gets this much recognition.
