FLORIDA FOOTBALL: FOOD FOR A MAN'S SOUL
Tebow Wins AP Player of the Year
Tebow wins yet another honor: the AP Player of the Year Award.
Now that Tim has won the Davy O’Brien and Maxwell Awards, has been named to various All-SEC and and All-American teams, and of course brought the Heisman Trophy back to Gainesville, how does it feel to win this latest honor?
“That’s cool,'’ Tebow said.
Aha! So it is possible to get a little bit jaded winning every award in existence and the entire world bowing at your feet, telling you how great you are.
No doubt Tebow’s in full practice mode for the upcoming battle with the Wolverines, and doesn’t really want to think or talk about laudations anymore. As most coaches will tell you, buying into praise and compliments will result in a fat, happy, and complacent player. I’m sure Michigan would take it if they could get it.

I don’t understand how Tebow can keep winning all these awards. Didn’t the Arkansas fans already tell us how McFadden was the best “pro” prospect? Shouldn’t he be sweeping all these college awards? What gives Hawg fans? Don’t these voters know what’s important? 40 times, combine numbers, mock drafts, etc.

I love the rest of the quote…
Again, it’s a huge honor. It’s a cool thing. Any time you’re honored for an individual award, it goes back to the team. Without those guys and their support, you can’t accomplish something like that on your own”…
Is it really possible for this kid to be this lauded and remain that humble…
Danny was a humble guy, but Timmy’s humility and reverence of his teammates is in a league all it’s own…

I love Tebow and I think he deserves all the accolades but I’m really curious to see if he will be any good at the next level.
