Despite playing in just three NFL seasons, the last one being 2012 with the Jets, Tim Tebow has been among the most recognizable names in pro football this century. Tebow, a 6-foot-3, 245-pound lefty quarterback, won the Heisman Trophy as a sophomore at Florida in 2007 and led the Gators to a national title the following year. Born in 1987 in the Philippines to Christian missionary parents, Tebow was already a media sensation when he was selected by Denver in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. His public displays of Christianity and wholesome heartthrob status among many women helped raise his profile while making him controversial: to admirers, he was classy and pious, and a clutch on-field performer – evidenced by some comeback wins with the Broncos, and a 7-4 starting record in 2011, and one memorable overtime playoff win over the Steelers. To his critics, he was an overhyped player who’d complete fewer than half of his career passes. Undeniable, though, has been Tebow’s impact on popular culture: from his habit of dropping to a knee in prayer during games, an action now known as “Tebowing,” which he has since trademarked; to his current endeavor as a minor league baseball player, Tebow has never strayed far from the headlines.
