Im not even a Florida fan but watching this gives me goosebumps! Such an epic moment for the sport. Tebow is definitely one of the all time greats!
If This Give U Goosebumps, Go Watch His Halftime Speech When They Won The Championship
Shit Was Legendary !!
In college football
How corny do you have to be to get goosebumps from this nonsense?
McNeal waded
I am a gator fan and I will say after this speech that I had zero doubt they would win out.
Greatest College Football Player of All Time
Adam Leon I agree and I’m a LSU fan! He single handily beat teams!
Ok he easily had the best team in college football
Lmao yeah right
@@Gametime41300 -- Broke the passing and rushing TD record in the same season when he was a Gator. Not only that, he was quite easily the most electrifying player in all of college for 3 straight years. He is one of the greatest college football QBs. There's no question about it.
james smith no it’s the 2005-2006 Texas team that beat USC
The crazy thing he wasnt even a bust. Just a bad time in the nfl with coaches
Bust....I think during his tenure at Florida the program produced 37 NFL players...yea, hes a bust
@@Daniel-hs6ct He was not a total bust. He may have not lived up to the hype but he did not play long. I would have liked to see other teams give him a chance
@@pricexs4129 How much did it cost?
@@Daniel-hs6ct ?
Elway trading away Tebow was an epic gaff. Elway should have kept Tebow behind Manning to learn from one of the best and then take over when Manning retired. After Manning left, Denver has gone thru alot of QB's.
Not only did they dominate the rest of the season, they were CRUSHING highly ranked SEC teams. Minimum 20 point blowouts of top 10 tesms
Jason O'Daniel out of 14 games SIX were top 25 teams and out of the 6 the least was 10 points they beat a strong Georgia and a strong LSU by almost a combined SEVENTY POINTS.. they beat a number one bama by 11 and a number 2 Oklahoma by 10. That’s almost HALF the schedule was ranked and four of them being ranked 8 or better..
@Jason O'Daniel why you being so aggressive over nothing? Like chill man it's a comment section over a guy who said something good about Tim Tebow
Jason O'Daniel insecure much? Phew
You two idiots are arguing over something that happened over 10 years ago
@Jason O'Daniel Christ dude, no one is going to read your YT thesis comment except you...
That's why he was a great leader. He held himself and the team accountable after the loss to Ole Miss. After that, the Gators never lost again that season and were national champs.
Yeah we watched the video too
@Jason O'Daniel I was referring to his Florida days. His NFL career is nothing to brag about.
I hated Tebow in College (Sooner fan here). But this was because he was THAT good, he was THAT inspiring, he was admirable. When he gave that speech, I knew my Sooners' season was over. (Secretly) he is the most inspiring player (for me) in college football. (And I LOVE Baker...)
Same! I was at that national championship... but I knew we were going to get destroyed. Any football fan would LOVE to have had them as the QB leading their team. If they say otherwise they're lying. Boomer.
Baker in college was him. He lost his swagger in the pros. And i am a sooners fan.
Wow. 10 years ago man. What a fucking trip it’s been since this kid wore the Gators helmet. He was amazing man
I read this in Jon Grudens voice 😂
The most hated, genuinely great human being of all time.... As a DIE HARD Broncos fan, I truly think John Elway dropped the ball by letting him go. It's a DAMN shame.
“If they hate you, remember they have hated me first.” - Jesus
@Sumerian Phalanx right but Brock Osweiler was Peytons backup. They got rid of Tebow and drafted Brock.
N8 DGAF if Tebow stayed on that team anytime Peyton had a bad drive there would’ve been Tebow chants so that’s y he was cut instead of kept as a backup
@@loganbechtel7570 haha that's so true. I went to a Broncos vs Cardinals game while Kyle Orton was the starting QB and Tebow was the back up. Orton was doing terrible like always and the entire stadium was yelling Tebows name nonstop. Even the Card fans were chanting. Denver lost like 47- 14 or something crazy. They got blown out.
Tebow was a victim of 18 24\7 sports channels that where and still are full of obnoxious hacks. Guys like Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith have nothing better to do then create noise and drama. You add their nonsense rhetoric to modern social media and suddenly a guy like Tebow becomes a distraction for a franchise. He became a distraction due to no fault nor offense he committed. Others have also been prey to this Johnny Manzel, Michael Sam, and now Antonio Brown, yes their circumstances are different, but the media over reaction is the same. I've been watching these hacks cover Antonio Brown, I recognize his actions are far different then Tebow, but damn. They are acting like Brown killed someone, kidnapped a child, or sold secrets to terrorist. I do not intend to infuse politics, but our President calls the media "enemy of the people", he is correct on that statement despite your feelings on him. As bad as the media maybe, certain figures in sports media may be the bottom of the food chain. Skip Bayless did more harm to Tim Tebows career then any throwing motion. Without evidence he called Troy Aikman gay, all his "Prince James" Lebron bashing, without evidence accused Jeter of steroids and this prick still has a job and lost minds still believe him.
What a speech! Not written, just his emotions expressed in words. I'm not fan of any team he's ever been on. I am a huge fan of his passion and what drives him.
It was off the cuff unscripted right out of his head at that particular moment that's an amazing athlete and a person.
Boy you start to tear up 🤧 Tim Tebow your a legend man 🔥
Jason O'Daniel u ok bro
Jason O'Daniel it’s really not that deep
@@poopybuttfart6911 Whatever.
One of the greatest stories in the history of sports
When tebow says "all of it" I died. Lmao sounded like forest gump
Dude fr lmao
:48
Didn't even notice until you mentioned... now I'm dying... lmao
You guys just wished you could tote his shoes! lmao…
@@rodcrawford5947 who is gonna be next head coach at Florida??
Man, I miss Tim Tebow at UF. He was just outstanding, on and off the field... I wish him all the best in life! God bless YOU my brother.
all glory and praise to you JESUS all the good we do comes from you
Man, this is so powerful. It gives me chills everytime I hear him say that.
Maybe this will give u the vapors then (fart sounds; plop) 💩
Greatest turn around in college football, Go Gator from UF Alumni (2002).
I’m a Tennessee fan
Love Tebow!
this is what a real winner looks like.... all this man does is win!
This video started with a loss to a vastly inferior team.
yep, this guy has so many haters, I just don't understand it. I good player talent wise, a caring team player who just loved his team and wanted to play for his team, but most importantly from a qb standpoint an excellent leader. Really an all around great guy, who took an already good team and made them great/led them to greatness and national championships.
I saw this comment with 2 replies underneath it and before I even looked at what they said, I knew they were likely going to be comments trying to counter the initial comment, or disagreeing with it, or straight up bashing Tebow. That's what I dislike. There are so many people who are QUICK and EAGER to bash on him and hate on him. That's what doesn't make sense. A good football player no doubt, and an even better person. I don't see the need to jump up at the first chance and start roasting him and bashing him
Until 2009 SEC Championship. 32-13. He got beat again and cried. He didn't think losing again after this speech was inevitable...but it was. He was a great athlete but not invincible.
Got goosebumps watching this. There’s no doubt in my mind that Tebow is the greatest college football player of all time.
My favorite football player ever! God bless this Man!
Living in Gainesville during that time was absolutely epic.
One of the Greatest speeches ever.... I feel so fortunate I saw this live...Go Gators!!!!
I miss these days
young Da same here brotha times were much simpler
This Bama fan! Got fired up! When I heard this! I knew he meant business! You could see it in his eyes. Always liked this young man. HE HAD HEART!!! 🤜🤛👍👍💪💪
Aaron Hernandez later apologized and promised to silence 3-5 people
My God i shouldn't be laughing but u Fuckin hilarious man
I'm in pain I'm laughing so hard! My whole office is looking at me...
Aaron Hernadez is a murderer.
I love this guy ❤️🙏
respect to Tebow.
GrimeOrDie facts
But I am respect to Peyton Manning
Tebow👏God bless!!
THANK YOU TIM TEBOW
Such an amazing human. Makes me proud to be a Florida Gator fan 🌴🐊🙏 Tebows legacy will live 4 life
Did anyone else get chills?
Tim Tebow is so Humble.
Goosebumps!!!!
Same brother
I felt every word of this speech when he said it back then.
He will always have my respect. What a leader and winner!
he kept his word greatest college football player of all time
I'm happy that I was a fan during this time watching every week .
Tears of joy just came across my face
Some people seem to believe this is a front. Simply put, this is a winner's mindset. Not a front.
I’m a die hard Bammer. My beloved Tide had a fantastic season in 2008 and went into the SEC Championship game ranked #1. Going into that game, I never felt like Alabama was going to beat Florida. I thought it was just a year too soon for Alabama to peak at Championship level and Florida was just playing lights out at that point. Tim Tebow just had an iron will after the loss to Ole Miss.
But the next season, you know what happened. 😥😓
Tebow’s a legend!
Gets me every time🙏🏻
Remanence day as a new season approaches (Go Dawgs!), nothing but mad respect for Mr. Tebow. That man's heart is legendary.
I miss Tebow so much, I will never forget this speech
Mad respect
Love you my brother Tim Tebow
0:47 “olivet... olivet.”
So’s Dirty White Tee 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
So’s Dirty White Tee I’m dead 😂😂
A legendary moment on Earth
Goosebumps every time
Thank you...apologize to people when you do something wrong
I still remember when Hoover played him in high school on Two-A-Days
Gator fan here will admit Tebow is part of the reason why I became a gators fan. Not a fairweather fan of Tim Tebow but just love the man for how great of a Christian man he is and how he showed how very passionate he is about his faith
Greatest CFB leader of All-Time 💯💯💯
David Nelson was a stud all season. After the Ole Miss game, dude became a beast. Still one of my favorite Gators!! 🐊🐊🐊
I love I Tim
Tim Tebow is the man.
Tim tebow is my Favorite player in sports
Greatest college football player since 2000
Still watching in 2021
Amazing
Tim, please come out already! You are beloved and will continue to be even more.
What?
Some ppl forget how incredible Tebow was in college. Best college player ever and it’s not even close. He lost IT but if you didn’t tear up while he did have IT then you aren’t a sports fan. He was a pure winner. Sad he didn’t get better or change positions
I remember like yesterday.
Please bring back this kind of Florida team!
Brave heart
I respect Tim Tebow even i am a Husker fan i still respect him
I’m a Tennessee fan and I respect him that takes a lot for a Florida player
I've been a life long Tennessee fan for 30 years but Tebow was the man. Loved watching him play as long as it wasn't against my VOLS.... Him and Eric Berry was always a fun match up tho
This why I always loved Tebow he was never to share his beliefs on or off the field and you can’t teach leadership and the drive to win those are just traits that have to come naturally and he had them
I respect tim tebow alot makes me wanna play football even though I could get tackled and be out the game lol mad respect hes true person and I think Josh McDaniels maybe could have done more but peyton manning is tough gotta respect tebow never giving up despite doubters
I never got the hate for Tebow I loved watching him play and I’m a Ducks fan.
Jason O'Daniel he’s accomplished more than you ever will loser
Oregon or anaheim
This is what leadership looks like.
TEBOW!!!!!
Tim Tebow was the 00s Alexander the Great. Though I stopped playing football a long time ago, something about it makes me feel like I’m ready to suit up and give it my all
Excellent Tebow
The Goat
Tebow is the G.O.A.T
Florida by a million
Hell yeah Ole Miss.
dood i got crazy chills now
It crazy how they said this man couldn’t play QB in the NFL
GOAT of College Football!!
Tim Tebow was the REAL nfl player who was discriminated against for taking a knee
This was nice. Gave me chills and made me teary eyed. That Tavon Austin highlight video is one of the most inspiring "Let's go bust some ass" videos out there. A few of my other favorites are the Deion Sanders, the Ray Lewis, and of course the Ed Reed highlight videos. When I played football, I watched that Tavon Austin video in my dad's car on the ride to every game. Believe me when I tell you I showed my ass
TEBOW!!!!
GOAT of college football
I just ran through a wall, thanks Tebow
GIVE TIM TEBOW A JOB NFL!!!!! TEBOW TEBOW TEBOW!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Never take anyone or any team lightly because on any given day you can be defeated no matter how great you are.
Tim is a Hero threw God
He wasn’t a bust, he was shining in Denver, hello he led them to the 2nd rnd, they just gave up on him & ofc the Pats still had Brady & the Jets are not very smart still to this day & im glad he’s getting another chance in Jacksonville 🐊
Tebow GOAT
Thank you Old Miss ,for waking up the monster!! Promise delivered.
Is it me or does he sound like forest gump at 0:50
It's you.
He said this speech on my birthday.
God I miss him..
Tim you're a wonderful person and I want to meet you
This season is looking like this 🐊
NFL coaches sleeping on Tim Tebow, he's better than most QB's in today's league.
Most NFL people have me for brains though.
The goat
