Tim Tebow

Tim Tebow is an American athlete known for his college football success at the University of Florida, where he won the Heisman Trophy, and his outspoken Christian faith.

His NFL career was brief and controversial—he became famous for kneeling in prayer on the field, a gesture dubbed "Tebowing." The name often invokes debate about whether faith and celebrity can substitute for professional-level skill: He's the Tim Tebow of this league—beloved but limited.
