Timothy Richard "Tim" Tebow (IPA-en?ti?bo?pron; born August 14, 1987) is a Heisman Trophy-winning American football quarterback for the Denver Broncos. He was drafted by the Broncos in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He played college football at Florida (Florida Gators football).

He was the first college football player to both rush (rush (American football)) and pass (Forward pass) for twenty or more touchdowns in a single season and was the first college sophomore to win the Heisman.

Tebow played quarterback for Nease High School (Allen D. Nease Senior High School) in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, where he became a Division I-A recruit ranked among the top quarterback prospects in the nation as a high school senior (Twelfth grade). After a tight recruiting (recruiting (college athletics)) battle, he chose the University of Florida over the University of Alabama. Tebow was a dual threat quarterback (Quarterback#Dual-threat quarterbacks) adept at rushing and passing the football. He was used his freshman season largely as a change of pace to the Gators more traditional passing quarterback, Chris Leak. Tebows contribution to the Gators 2006 college football season (2006 NCAA Division I FBS football season) was as a key back-up who helped the Gators win college footballs national championship game (2007 BCS National Championship Game) for the first time since 1996.

As a college sophomore during the 2007 season (2007 NCAA Division I FBS football season), he became the Gators starting quarterback and broke the Southeastern Conference (SEC) records for both rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns accounted for in a single season. In addition to winning the Heisman Trophy, his 2007 performance also earned the Maxwell Award as the nations top football player, the Davey OBrien Award as the nations best quarterback, and the James E. Sullivan Award as the nations most outstanding amateur athlete in any sport.
