Tim Tebow was born in Makati City, Philippines. But, grew up in Jacksonville, Florida where he played football for the University of Florida till 2010. From there he moved to Denver, and played for the Denver Broncos for a year and now he is in New York playing with the Jets. Tim has moved a lot, I bet he is tired of moving so much.

His parents are Pam and Bob. They both graduated from the University of Florida and are Christian missionaries. He has two brothers named Robby and Peter, and two sisters named Katie and Christy.

Tim, Robby and his Dad all are Dyslexic. All three are kinesthetic learners, which means, they learn best by doing. It affects your reading, writing, and spelling.

Tim and his brothers and sisters were home schooled by their mom. She did quizzes at the dinner table on State and World Capitals, U.S. Presidents and Bible Verses.

At age six, he asked Jesus into his heart. At age 15, he did his first missionary at the Philippines schools. He played football and made it to the national championship his freshman year in college. Tim's sophomore year he won the Heisman Trophy with 3,286 yards passing, 895 yards rushing and 55 total touchdowns. In his Junior Year he won "The Promise" and another national championship. Tim's senior year he had the greatest college football career of all time with 88 touchdown passes and 57 touchdown runs and graduated with a bachelor's degree in family, youth and community sciences.

At the 2010 football draft he was picked 25^th in the overall draft. Tim got picked by the Denver Broncos for the 2011 season. The game against the Pittsburg Steelers he had 316 passing yards and 31.6 yards per completion, and an 80 yard pass to Demaryius Thomas for a touchdown in overtime. The Denver Broncos were the AFC west Division Champs.

The Tebow Rule

1. In 2010 a new rule for the next NCAA football season banned messages on eye black. Because of Tebow frequently referencing biblical verses on his eye black it was dubbed "The Tebow Rule".

Everyday includes four things by Tim Tebow

1. God

2. Family

3. Academics

4. Football

Here are some sayings that Tim Tebow said with the Broncos

1. "Honestly, I just don't worry about what everybody else says. You never know what your future holds. So I'm not going to worry about it. I'm just going to play football."

2. "I didn't mind jokes about going to school in my pajamas, but I didn't want anyone to say I was soft."

He has led my family really close to the Lord. But not by how he plays football, but by how he is a spiritual leader on and off the field. He has inspired my family because he is not afraid to show his faith. Tim showed the 2011 Denver Broncos and fans that you can win if you all pray. He is a really good servant of God. I hope he will always stay that way.

He was born in the Makati City in the Philippines then he grew up in Jacksonville Florida and played for the University of Florida till 2010 and then he went to Denver and played there for one year and now he is at New York playing with the Jets. So he has moved a lot. I bet he is about tired of moving so much
