It's a rarity for me to "like" a Florida Gator. I've been a Florida State fan for as long as I can remember, and it's just not in my blood to like them; however, Tim Tebow is growing on me.
Maybe it's because Urban Meyer is BFFs with Bill Belichick. Maybe it's because the Pats have a knack for drafting former Gators. Or maybe its because Tebow is a rarity in all of college football.
It's not just about his numbers - simply put they are staggering. It's about his poise, posture, and maturity...off the field.
It's not just about his volunteer mission work in the Phillipines. Or his countless hours of community service. It's the fact that he wants to do it. He doesn't want the credit for it. He wants to feel like he is making a difference.
And that's what fueled him coming back to Florida for his Senior season. Not just because he wants to win another title and improve his draft stock to the naysayers. Not just because he likes the college lifestyle. It's because he feels a strong sense of loyalty to his team and teammates. He wants to make a difference.
And he will.
