"Sometimes when I watch athletes (whether at UF or other places)"

I can't help think to myself- "wow...this person is blowing a great opportunity. If only I could have had his talents...I'd capitalize on the opportunity." Or something to that extent.

But with Tebow it's different. I think- "If I were blessed with Tebow's abilities would I be that humble?" Probably not. "Would I be living a 'good' and 'Christian' life?" (Sadly, I'd probably be banging Erin Andrews right now. lol).

In short, Tebow not only actualizes his abilities ON the field...he somehow manages to avoid the pitfalls that come with those opportunities OFF the field.

For these reasons I have to admit that Tebow is not only a better athlete than myself...he's probably a better person too.

So as much as I'd like to be Tebow...I probably wouldn't BE Tebow if I were. I'd like to think that I would...but I'd be fooling myself.

Tebow is a freak off the field and on the field. He IS the exception...not the rule.

We are blessed that he wears our colors and loves our university.
