Tim Tebow squats 405 pounds in Texas Longhorns’ weight room

That’s an absurd level of strength at that age, even for an unbelievable athlete like Tebow.

He’s been back in the news recently, thanks to the highly anticipated release of the Netflix documentary, “Swamp Kings.” It will be released on August 22nd and college football fans across the country can’t wait. It’s a four-part docuseries that chronicles the Florida Gators from 2006-2009, the peak of the Urban Meyer era in Gainesville. It’s certainly going to be fascinating to watch.

Tim Tebow was one of the greatest players in CFB history

Tim Tebow established himself as one of the greatest players in college football history during his career with the Florida Gators. He won two BCS National Championships with the Gators (2006 and 2008). One was with Chris Leak operating as the starting quarterback under center. In 2007, he won the highest individual award in college football, the Heisman Trophy. Tebow became the first sophomore in NCAA history to win the award.

He ran and threw for a combined 55 touchdowns during his Heisman Trophy winning season. He became the first player in FBS history to throw for and run for over 20 touchdowns in a season. He threw for 3,286 yards and 32 touchdowns, while adding 895 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns on the ground. Tebow put up those numbers in 13 games and that season is still considered one of the greatest seasons by any player in college football history.

At the end of his highly decorated college career, Tebow held five NCAA, 14 SEC and 28 Florida statistical records.

In the NFL, he was selected in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft with the No. 25 overall pick by the Denver Broncos. He saw limited action as a rookie, but led the Broncos to a playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in his second season. Later, he had brief stints with the New York Jets, New England Patriots, and the Philadelphia Eagles.
