Tebow Is Misunderstood

How many quarterbacks in the NFL do you know who play on special teams?   To me playing on special teams in the NFL can be one of the highest compliments that  can be given to a football player.  Special teams win football games.  Special teams play can also be responsible for ending careers.  Kickoffs and kick returns can be very dangerous.  Field goals and extra points can be game changing.  Punts are necessary to gain good defensive field position.  Tebow Had an important play on special teams as a member of the "hands team."  Buffalo had reduced the lead to 41-28.  The Bills tried an onsides kick during the fourth-quarter.  Tebow recovered.  Tebow is versatile.  On Sunday he also lined up as a wide receiver, and punt protector.  He played some wildcat quarterback and ran 5 times for 11 yards.  Just having Tebow on the team is a boost for the Jets.   Why do I say Tebow is misunderstood?   Let me explain.  He loves football.  He is not an egomaniac.  He loves to play football.  It appears to me that he does not really care where they put him.   I don't think this is common in the NFL.   Tebow is a football player.   I know that he is a man of faith.......his faith in Jesus Christ is his greatest gift.   Nevertheless,  the greatest compliment I can give him regarding his chosen field of endeavor is this:  He is a football player.
