Tebow Swamped With Endorsement Opportunities, But He’s Focusing On Football

I don’t understand the people who criticize the hoodlums, rapist and thugs in the NFL, but still criticize somebody like Tim Tebow, who is willing to stands for good clean godly living.

Tebow is considered controversial by some in the media because he shares his faith and talks about the Lord.¬† I have heard and believe that if you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything.

I like what Tebow stands for and so do millions of other Americans.¬† No one can honestly deny that he’s hit a nerve with the football fans.

The Denver Broncos rookie quarterback tells a Memphis, Tennessee paper that he has turned down a number of seven- figure per year endorsement opportunities because he doesn’t want anything to get in between him and his focus on football.

“I’m trying to work hard and not get my mind cluttered with all that,” Tebow said. “When it gets to the point when something needs to be presented to me, I see it. Right now, it’s all ball for me.”

Tebow has been working out in Memphis, which is the home of his agent Jimmy Sexton.  The agent wanted Tebow to come workout in Memphis as a way of avoiding the attention he would get in Denver or Gainesville, Florida, which is where he played his college ball.

“Within the next five years, Tim clearly has a chance to be one of the most endorsable athletes on the planet,” Sexton said. “I had one CEO of a major Fortune 500 company tell me, ‘You know what, Jimmy? For a corporation to put a face on their brand, this guy (Tebow) is the real deal. He’s the one guy who’s not going to be a scandal two or three years from now.’ ”

You have to take what he’s saying seriously because Tebow’s jersey is now number one in NFL jersey sales.

He is probably the most accomplished college player of all-time when you consider that he won two National Championships and a Heisman Trophy.

He and his Mom created a stir when they agreed to do a Pro Life Super Bowl commercial about Tim’s birth.¬† His birth was quite a story because his Mom was encouraged to have an abortion by a doctor but refused and wound up giving birth to her Heisman Trophy-winning son.

Tebow was drafted in the first round, which was a surprise to many football onlookers who had heard NFL scouts question his quarterbacking skills.¬†¬† He has shortened his delivery since leaving Florida and says he’s willing to do whatever work is necessary to prove himself in the National Football League.

Stay tuned.

Tebow and Dawk are gonna have some great talks about the Lord. That’s gonna be a phenomenal locker room to be in for those who’ve lost their way. I’m so excited for them!
