Tim Tebow: Denver Broncos Quarterback Receives Third-Most AFC Quarterback Votes

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow is wanted in Honolulu by over 630,000 Pro Bowl fan voters.

On Wednesday afternoon, Pro Bowl fan voting results were released. Voting by fans and followers of the NFL makes up one-third of the total voting for the Pro Bowl. Voting by players takes up another third, and voting by coaches, the final third.

Tebow received an incredible 632,912 votes, putting him behind only New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger for AFC quarterbacks. Brady and Roethlisberger received 1,454,311 and 935,535 votes, respectively.

Notably, there were no Broncos players who earned top voting honors in their respective positions.

In fact, the only player from the AFC West to lead their respective position in fan voting was Oakland Raiders punter Shane Lechler. Lechler is an eight-time Pro Bowler.

As for the rest of the AFC, six Baltimore Ravens led their respective positions in vote-getting, with defensive tackle Haloti Ngata leading the way with 592,603 fan votes. Five Patriots, including Brady, also led their respective positions in votes.

In the NFC, eight Green Bay Packers led their respective positions in vote-getting, with Aaron Rodgers getting the highest number of votes of any NFL player (1,581,982).

The coaches and players ballots are in, and the Pro Bowl roster will be announced on December 27th on NFL Network.

Tebow's popularity among fans does not ensure him a place on the AFC team when they go to Hawaii, as coaches and players may vote quarterbacks such as the Ravens' Joe Flacco or the San Diego Chargers' Philip Rivers.

Nonetheless, this fan support, which we already knew Tebow had, keeps pushing the Broncos quarterback into the limelight, where so far he seems to be thriving.
