'''Timothy Richard "Tim" Tebow''' (born August 14, 1987) is an [[American]] [[football]] player who first gained fame while playing for the Florida Gators. He was the first sophomore to win the [[Heisman Trophy]] and led the Gators to two [[BCS]] Championships during his four years playing for the [[University of Florida]] at Gainesville. He was selected by the [[Denver Broncos]] as the 25th pick of the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. In 2011, after his team was in last place, the Broncos decided to start Tebow as quarterback. As quarterback, Tebow had an impressive seven-game win streak and took the Broncos to the division championship and a home-game appearance in the playoffs. He then led them to an upset playoff win over the [[Pittsburgh Steelers]] (headed by Hollywood-values quarterback [[Ben Roethlisberger]]) with 316 passing yards, confounding his critics. The Broncos were eliminated from the playoffs when they lost against the [[New England Patriots]], 45-10, with Tebow completing only 9 of 26 pass attempts for a gain of 136 yards, 13 yards rushing, and 5 sacks.<ref>[http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/articles/2012/01/15/patriots_simply_unstoppable_against_broncos/ Patriots Pounce Broncos] Shaughnessy, Dan, bostonglobe.com, January 15, 2012, retrieved January 15, 2012</ref> '''''Tebow is one of [[Essay:Greatest Conservative Sports Stars|Conservapedia's Greatest Conservative Sports Stars]] and was a runner-up for [[Conservative of the Year 2011]]'''''.
