10 great Tim Tebow touchdowns in honor of his 28th birthday
Tim Tebow turns 28 today, and in honor of the Eagles quarterback and at-large legend, it's time to take a look back at some of the biggest moments of his career.
From his breakout with the Broncos to his resurgence as a Jet to his not-so-memorable time as a Patriot to Eagles training camp, where he's battling Matt Barkley to be Philly's third-string quarterback, it's been an intriguing career for Tebow to say the least (not to mention his highly successful career at Florida and his time as an analyst for ESPN and the SEC Network.)
So let's take a deep dive into the Tebow archives and appreciate the man who never fails to captivate media throngs and somehow remains part of our greater sports consciousness.
Highlights in no scientific order.
