    Tim Tebow Impact On Life

    • 987 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Tebow was drafted by the Denver Broncos as the 25th pick, he played one season on their roster, but he has struggled to get on any team’s roster since. Being overlooked in many teams’ offensive scheme, he has only remained on three other teams’ practice squads, but has recently been cut by the Philadelphia Eagles. The main point I have taken away from his movement around the league is that every team he plays with he is noted as extremely coachable, a leader, has a great attitude, and shows respect and class. Tebow’s will to push forward and take everyday as it comes, even if he is in a slump, translates to every aspect of life. The book portrayed a figure I have since looked up to for an example when times are rough.…
