ย
โThe Chosen Oneโ is just one of the many terms of endearment that Tim Tebow has garnered over the past four-plus years.
ย
He has performed surgical procedures in third-world countries. He gave his father one of his championship rings in front of the missionaryโs church congregation. Heโs had a line of underwear named after him.
ย
The legend of Tebow grows on a daily basis.
ย
Tim Tebow is a "too-good-to-be-true" college football player. He is, in my opinion, the greatest to ever play the game. What makes that determination for me?
ย
Tebow is not the greatest athlete in the history of the game, but heโs a great athlete. Heโs not the best passing QB in game today, but heโs one of the best. The thing that makes Tebow the greatest player to ever play college football is his leadership, combined with an incredible football IQ.
ย
Tebowโs leadership is the reason the Gators won the National Title last season, and precisely why everyone is picking the Gators again in โ09.
ย
You all know the story. After losing to Ole Miss at the Swamp, Tebow stood up and gave an impassioned speech about why his team would not lose again in โ08. As a matter of fact, Floridaโs final loss with Tebow at the helm could be that Ole Miss game.
ย
I could make the argument that without Tebow as a freshman Florida does not win the national title in โ06. Tebow came in for one play on numerous drives in that freshman year and made ridiculous jump passes, rushed for first downs, and threw TDs all season long.
ย
Last year in leading Florida to the title, he threw for 2,746 yards with 30 TDs and only four interceptions. He rushed for 673 yards with 12 TDs.
ย
I thought he should have won his second consecutive Heisman in โ08.
ย
Tebow is the odds-on favorite to win the distinguished award for the second time in his career this season. With almost every weapon back from the Gators' vaunted offensive attack of โ08, Tebow should step right back in and pick up where he left off. The schedule is a tad easier, and Florida returns 10 starters on offense and 11 on defense.
ย
I know that Iโll likely get some responses saying I am stupid for considering Tebow as the greatest ever; how many players in this gameโs history have three National Championships and two Heisman Trophyโs? The answer is none, but if thereโs any player who can do that itโs definitely Tebow.
