For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
—John 3:16
Tebow has been identified with John 3:16 — one of the most commonly quotes verses in the Bible. He wore ‘John’ under his right eye and “3:16” under his left eye on his anti-reflective eye black during his days with the Florida Gators and the BCS National Championship.
In the 1970’s and 1080’s Rainbow Man Rollen Frederick Stewarart wearing a rainbow-colored afro-style wig held up signs reading “John 3:16” at sporting events around the United States and around the world. Rainbow Man ended up with a lifetime sentence in prison for kidnapping after he was arrested in a California hotel in 1992 while attempting to kidnap two men.
But back to Tebow: ESPN’s QBR rating reports quarterback Tim Tebow’s second quarter was the third-best single quarter from a quarterback in the NFL since 2008. He is now on record as the first NFL player to complete four passes of 30-plus yards in a single quarter of an NFL playoff game.
