Quarterback Tim Tebow was drafted by the Broncos in 2010 after winning two national championships for the Florida Gators.

Tebow won the Heisman Trophy in 2007 when he threw for 3,286 yards and rushed for 895 yards.

Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was the Broncos head coach at the time Tebow joined the Broncos. In 2010, Tebow passed for 654 yards in nine games and started a phenomenon known as “Tebowing.”

In 2011, Tebow led the Broncos on several improbable comebacks and into the playoffs, where he famously engineered an upset of the favored Steelers before losing to the Patriots in the AFC Divisional playoff round.

The Broncos acquired free agent Peyton Manning and traded Tebow to the Jets. After an uneventful 2012, slotted behind starter Mark Sanchez and nursing injuries, the Jets released Tebow in April after they drafted quarterback Geno Smith.

Tebow was a popular figure in New York, the subject of many tabloid headlines and sports talk programming. His engaging personality and willingness to speak publically about his religious beliefs made his famous well beyond the football field.

Tebow appeared in 12 games for the Jets, and completed 6 of 8 passes. He also had 32 rushing attempts for 102 yards.

Tebow signed with the Patriots on June 10, 2013. He is expected to be the third string quarterback.
