Thursday evening Tim Tebow added to his legend with an incredible game-winning performance against the New York Jets. If you haven’t seen the highlights, check out the video above. If you haven’t read his post-game comments from the NFL Network, then read below:
- “First and foremost I’ve got to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and my teammates. Those guys believed in me and stuck with me and we stuck with each other for 60 minutes…We have a resilient team.”
- “I am extremely blessed.”
- “Something I learned early in college (is) to not worry about what I can’t control…But what I can control is my attitude, my effort, my focus every single day and that’s what I’m trying to worry about.”
- “We’ve got a great bunch of receivers who are so unselfish and they’re putting the team #1 and I’m so proud of them…Their #1 priority is to win and I’m so proud of them.”
- “Just keep believing…This is an opportunity where great things can happen and let’s be great right now…Everybody believe and we went out there and achieved it because our faith and our relentlessness to keep fighting.”
- “You’ve got to worry about the next play…Keep believing because people aren’t always going to like you but you have to believe in the people around you…You’re going to get knocked down but it’s how many times you get back up.”
- “You want people to believe in you. You want people to care about you…You want to perform for the fans and make them proud.”
- “We take it one day at a time. You have to get better. We’re focused on tomorrow.”
- “The greatest thing with this sport and the NFL is we have such a platform and we can take that platform and influence the next generation. That is honestly my passion. And this week we got to announce that I was building a hospital in the Phillipines. And this game means a lot but that hospital means more to me because that’s changing people’s lives. That’s giving people faith, and hope, and love…My ultimate goal with this, with playing football, is to be a great role model that a parent can look at their son and say that’s someone who’s trying to do the right thing.”
- “I just want to win football games.”
- “I want to be a quarterback who has the ability to do whatever I’m asked to do.”
- “The greatest thing about our team is that we believe in each other.”
- “The first guy to give me a hug after the touchdown was Champ Bailey. And as a young guy that means so much to you.”
Tim Tebow is too good to be true. I hope my daughter marries someone like him. The full interview is provided below.
