My Take
Tim Tebow might be the most polarizing football player I can think of, and that is exactly what makes him fascinating. In college he was untouchable, a Heisman winner and two-time champion who willed Florida to wins. The NFL was harder on him, but 'Tebow Time' in Denver, capped by that overtime playoff bomb to Demaryius Thomas, was pure magic that no analyst saw coming. What I respect is the second act: rather than cling to football, he chased pro baseball and built a real platform around faith and charity. Mechanics aside, the guy was a winner and an undeniable competitor.
Overview
