Tim Tebow is the quarterback for the best college football team ever assembled over Peyton Manning, Tommie Frazier, Roger Staubach and countless others who had stellar college careers under center.

Tebow won the Heisman in 2007 when he scored an SEC record 55 total touchdowns (32 passing, 23 rushing) for the Florida Gators. This came after he helped the Gators win the national title as a situational rusher as a freshman with Chris Leak starting. Tebow’s 2007 season didn’t result in a title but he was second in the nation in passer rating and led the nation in yards per attempt.

Florida returned to the BCS National Championship Game and he won his second national title during his junior year when he finished third in the Heisman vote. He returned for his senior season and finished fifth to join Herschel Walker as players who finished in the top five three times.

Tebow is the SEC’s all-time leader in rushing touchdowns and total touchdowns and is fourth with 88 passing touchdowns. He had all the individual stats but backed it up with the intangibles that make good players great and great players legends and has two national championships to make him this team’s signal caller and team captain.
