Tim Tebow [NFL Quarterback] Perhaps one of the most prominent Christian athletes in sports today, Tebow is known for praying during his games and after big plays. Although he doesn't speak on the subject often, Tebow remains a strong proponent of Christianity. At a 2008 Easter church service in Texas he said, "Regardless of what happens, I still honor my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, because at the end of the day, that's what's important, win or lose. ... We need to get back to one nation under God, and be role models for kids."

Peyton Manning is negotiating to join the Broncos, ESPN reported Monday, March 19, 2012. Citing anonymous sources, ESPN said that the four-time MVP has instructed agent Tom Condon to negotiate the details of a deal with Denver. The addition of Manning could well lead to Denver trading Tebow, even though the popular QB energized the Broncos in leading them to the playoffs last season despite some uneven play.

While not specifically political, Tim Tebow's eyeblack in this November 2009 powerfully conveyed his Christian beliefs while he was a quarterback for the Florida Gators. The NCAA in 2010 would pass what became known as the "Tebow rule" prohibiting players from wearing messages on their eyeblack — although officials denied it was specifically aimed at the quarterback.
