Florida Gator senior quarterback, Tim Tebow in Sugar Bowl against Cincinnati, which is his final game as a collegiate quarterback, and maybe his final game ever as a starting quarterback at any level, stated his religiosity for the world by printing a biblical verse, Ephesians 2:8-10, on his eye-black. The verse reads:

“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”

Humility has always been a trait Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has exhibited throughout his career. Tebow has been known not only as a great college football quarterback, but also as a very righteous and religious young man. He has stated that he is still a virgin, for example, and saving himself for marriage. He has also spent a good deal of his personal time working with the disadvantaged and visiting prisons to share inspirational messages.
