At 29-years-old, Tim Tebow is one of the most recognizable names in professional sports. In college, Tebow played football for the University of Florida, winning the Heisman Trophy in 2007. He went on to play quarterback for the NFL for three seasons. In a recent, crazy plot twist last month, Tebow signed a contract with the New York Mets, beginning a career in professional baseball.
Aside from the fame associated with his football career and the intrigue caused by his announcement to switch sports entirely, Tebow is well-known for his outspoken Christian beliefs. These beliefs are in the headlines again after Tim Tebow prayed over a fan at yesterday’s Mets game.
The man was asking for Tebow’s autograph, when he suddenly fell to the ground and had a seizure. Tebow dropped everything and rushed to his aid.He prayed over the man and as he breathed and awoke, Tebow began talking to him about football to keep him calm. He stayed with him for 20 minutes before paramedics arrived.
