The Netflix documentary Untold: Swamp Kings, which was released recently, looks into Tebow's journey.

Tebow was homeschooled up until college, which allowed him to pursue his love of football. He was one of the best high school athletes in the country. The groundwork for an excellent collegiate football career was laid in his choice to play for the University of Florida under head coach Urban Meyer.

In his rookie season, Tebow was a key member of the 2006 national championship-winning Florida Gators squad. The Gators won another championship in 2008. Tebow opted not to enter the 2009 NFL Draft and instead played for the Gators for one more season.

He became the first sophomore to win the Heisman Trophy in 2007.

Tebow was drafted by the Denver Broncos in 2010 and spent two seasons with the team before being traded to the New York Jets in 2012.

Tebow signed a contract with the New England Patriots in 2013 but was cut during training camp. He signed a one-year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015, but did not play a single game for the team and was released.

He left the NFL and tried his hand at baseball for a brief period, before retiring in 2021.

Tebow returned to the NFL and reunited with his former Florida Gators head coach, Urban Meyer at the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2021. He hoped to play as a tight end rather than a quarterback, but his time with the franchise was shortlived.

Where did Tim Tebow grow up?

Tim Tebow was born to Pamela Elaine Tebow and Robert Ramsey Tebow II, Baptist missionaries, in the Philippines.

In the documentary, Tebow revealed that doctors predicted he wouldn't live past birth due to his mother's challenging pregnancy. However, he triumphed against all odds, gaining the moniker "miracle" baby.

He was raised on a farm in Jacksonville, Florida, as the youngest of five siblings, after his family moved there when he was three years old.
