This week’s July 27, 2009, issue of Sports Illustrated features Gator quarterback Tim Tebow with the billing “Tim Tebow: Man of Many Missions.”
Here is an excerpt:
“Watching Tebow zip passes into the seams of opposing defenses, lower his shoulder in short yardage and exhort his teammates like King Henry V on St. Crispin’s Day, one might think that he was put on this earth just to run coach Urban Meyer’s spread offense. Watching him pace the floor of a gymnasium packed with 660 wayward men hanging on his every syllable is to realize that, regardless of what position Tebow eventually plays in the NFL, and for how long, the football phase of his life is merely a means to a greater end.”
Says Tebow of the trips he makes to Lawtey and the other “faith and character-based” prisons in the state of Florida: “It’s one of my favorite things to do. You’re talking to guys who have no hope, no support, who have been totally written off by the world.”
The article talks about TIm Tebow’s journey not just on the field but off as well. His life growing up and his trips to jails to help spread the word of his religion to those willing to accept it. Well worth the 5 minute read!
