- It's nothing new when a young athlete says he's inspired by New York Jets quarterback Tim Tebow. But how often does a young athlete inspire Tebow?
Meet Jacob Rainey. Tebow did on Christmas Eve of 2011, and it was a moment that made a lasting impact on both of them.
"Being able to be with him and hang out with him and see his courage and his outlook on life really inspired me," Tebow told "E:60."
The inspiration was mutual.
"I thought that was pretty special. It shows that he cares," Rainey said.
Rainey was a highly rated high school quarterback playing for Woodberry Forest, a private all-boys boarding school in central Virginia. Coaches compared Rainey to Tebow. He even ran a 4.6 40-yard dash at Virginia Tech during a 2011 camp visit. But Rainey's dreams of playing in the NFL were shattered during a scrimmage before his junior season when, on Sept. 3, 2011, he scrambled out of the pocket. Even though it was just a scrimmage, Rainey, like always, did whatever he could to avoid being tackled.
"I took off to the left and I cut back, and right when I cut back there was a guy right there at my knee," Rainey said. "I just blacked out and fell to the ground. I looked down and my leg was sticking out sideways."
Rainey suffered a dislocated right knee, but while he was hospitalized the news got far worse. An artery in his lower right leg had been severed, cutting off circulation. Over the next week, Rainey underwent four surgeries as doctors tried to save his leg. They were unsuccessful.

This is why I'll never stop rooting for Tim Tebow for a Young guy he sees the bigger picture in life
i just dont get how some people dislike tebow, i mean ffs hes the epitome of a good guy
Exactly
Haters gotta hate tho
I went to this high school and played on the field before it was redone. Jacob is a hell of a kid and I'm incredibly impressed by him.
I going next year and I'm so nervous
This kid is the most inspirational kid in sports history he's the most inspirational sports story ever heard
I give respect to this guy !!
With god ALL things are possible Jacob, so proud of your resolve, courage, and fighting spirit
for a high school kid his voce is hella deep
for a 28 yr old man Tebows voice is hella high
I like Tim Tebow he's a good guy and this is coming from an atheist
+YungNike Yezzus i know. a lot of people, especially atheists, were pissed at him because he wore his religion on his sleeve. they said he was trying to shove it down peoples' throats. i distinctly remember that on an SNL episode. the thing was that he wasn't trying to forcefully convert people or anything like that, he just didn't shy away from his convictions. if people would take the religious aspect out of it, they would see a guy that does a lot of outreach work for needy people around the country and even in the philippines. he's a genuinely good dude that just happens to be open about his love for his beliefs
I like Tim Tebow if only his career didn’t fall apart hopefully he gets something going with the mets
Man that's just not fair.
By the way the first time I heard this story was on a RUclips channel called flamlo rap
+WM I have never heard of him before this video :D
