Football Star Tim Tebow talks pro-life in new book

by Rebecca Millette

June 3, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Twenty-three-year-old former college football legend and 2010 first-round draft pick as quarterback for the Denver Broncos, Tim Tebow, may be an up-and- coming NFL football star, but according to his mom, he is first and foremost her “miracle baby.”

In his new autobiography, “Through My Eyes,” Tebow writes about his miraculous birth, his home schooled upbringing, the impact of faith and family on his life, and his determination to succeed, which led him to two NCAA National Football Championships with the Florida Gators and his NFL draft. The book was released May 31 from Harper Collins.

The star sparked national controversy during the 2010 Super Bowl due to his appearance in two 30-second commercial clips sponsored by the pro-family group Focus on the Family. Pro-abortion groups organized a massive campaign to protest what they believed would be an overtly pro-life message aired during the Super Bowl.

I admire Roger Staubach because of his personal life.

Though he was a SuperBowl MVP and Heisman winner, what he has done off the field has impressed me.

Maybe Tim will follow in Roger's shoes, or even surpass him.

Roger, besides being a very dedicated Christian and Catholic, has amassed a small fortune for his family...

He spends time to help charities.

So I expect Tim to be another Roger...

Roger and Tim would probably make better politicians than jerks like Romney and Guiliani. I just hope that folks like Roger and Tim will back Sarah’s run for the White House...

I graduated from UF years ago and now live near Denver. I could not believe it when the Broncos drafted Tim. I just hope there is a season this year.

Tebow is the kind of young man every coach dreams of having on his team. Tebow may be a QB, but he is in every sense of the word, a football player. I can count the guys on one hand who put everything on the line, every down like Tebow did in college. The kid willed his team to win. On top of all that, he is damn good person. I root for this guy every time I see him play,

As a father, is it wrong for me to say I want my daughter to marry Tim Tebow?

Heck, I'd even root for the Broncos if he did. And I'm a Niner fan.

I caught the end of his interview with O’Reilly this evening. The interview might be available on video @ foxnews.com.

Tim is doing a ton of interviews for his book, and I hope it’s very successful. He could do practically anything he wants after his FB career...

Roger will always be my most cherished childhood hero. I wore that No. 12 Cowboy's jersey that Mom bought me from Sears until it was thread bear. Until recent years he was the last Navy Cadet to beat Notre Dame (1967?).

Tebow will amaze us all. I have no doubt.
