(Sean Rayford)
There are few athletes I've covered in almost 40 years of sportswriting who understand how to use their celebrity to benefit others better than former Florida Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Tim Tebow.
From the time he was a freshman quarterback at Florida in 2006 to the instances we've spoken in his SEC Network analyst role the last few years, he has never changed.
Tebow is unflinchingly polite, pleasant and respectful, someone who maintains a steady perspective about life far beyond his age.
Yet he has been fried by some media because he had just a brief career as an NFL quarterback due to his inefficient passing motion.
