Recently, Touchdown Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Heisman Trophy winner and College Football Hall of Famer Tim Tebow.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Tebow, on behalf of the 2024 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, discussed joining forces with New Orleans nonprofit Son of a Saint for a day of mentorship and gave his take on the newly expanded college football playoffs system.
“Well, it’s just that it matters so much more, and I gave so much to just trying to be the best I could on a field, diamond, or court for so much of my life,” Tebow explained. “If I was willing to give so much to play a game with a broken leg or arm or give up vacations, why wouldn’t I do it for something that matters so much more than a game? If you say all of those things, and many times in my life, I could have probably given you the right answer of the thing priorities, but it didn’t mean they were necessary; if you cut my heart open, they would have been the priorities of my heart.”

Tebow, a two-time BCS National Champion with the Florida Gators, shared his thoughts on the recently expanded playoff system and its efficiency in crowning a champion.
“I personally love the idea and the premise of an expanded playoff. I think some things need to be adjusted and fixed, but I love it,” said Tebow. “I think it’s made that so much of the season even more competitive. I love the drama at the end of October, November, and early December; I don’t think it’s a perfect system yet. I know some people are upset, but I think we made progress. Let’s continue to adapt and make it even better in the future.”
