Former Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow is rooting for his former team to win the Super Bowl this year…

In case you didn’t know it already, Tim Tebow is just a stand up guy.

The Broncos parted ways with their former first round pick because they landed Peyton Manning in free agency (back in 2012) and they may have parted ways at some point after that anyway, but Tebow still roots for the Broncos.

There are plenty of players on the Broncos that played with Tebow and witnessed one of the most miraculous seasons in team history, despite the fact that the Broncos won just eight regular season games. It was the first of what has become a five-year dominant streak over the rest of the AFC West, and the shining moment was Tebow’s pass to Demaryius Thomas, whose legendary 80-yard sprint has become a play that stands alone in Broncos lore.

This season, Tebow spent camp and the preseason with the Philadelphia Eagles. It looked as though he was a lock to make Chip Kelly’s final roster, but the Eagles surprisingly cut Tebow and he went back to work for ESPN.

We all had our Tebow itch scratched, but with some of the garbage I’ve seen in the NFL, it’s a wonder why one of the greatest to ever play the game (collegiately, at least) is searching for a job when he could at least come in and make things interesting for someone.

As it stands, the former Heisman Trophy winner and first round pick is still a Broncos fan. He appeared on The Ellen Show and discussed a number of things, but most notably made his pick for the Super Bowl. He’s rooting for the Broncos.

This continues to fuel the fire that is my love for Tebow, though I’ve accepted that as far as the NFL goes, that ship may have sailed. You never know what could happen down the road, but the man is clearly in phenomenal shape. If he was ever open to a position change or at least a ‘slash’ in his title, it would be cool to see him back in Denver operating as a ‘touchdown scorer’ whenever they get close to the goal line.

Give him the football, and let him do work.

At any rate, Super Bowl things.
