New York Jets’ players had a laugh about Tim Tebow’s shirtless run – NFL News
Tim Tebow is in the limelight again, not for his on-field performance but off it.
At the end of Saturday's practice session, Tebow walked off the pitch without wearing a shirt. Not surprisingly, it got the media attention and the next episode of Tebowmania was made.
The story hit the internet just minutes after the photographers took the picture. Even Tebow’s teammates did not spare him about this matter.
Jets linebacker Bart Scott spoke about this matter and said:
"Like I told Tim, I've never seen anybody decide to take their shirt off in the rain. Usually, I put stuff on. Maybe it was holy water, I don't know."
Tebow did not have a great start to training camp as Mark Sanchez completely dominated the practice field.
However, his teammates were impressed by his approach to the game as well as life itself. Scott said:
“I mean, it's humility. How can you ever not accept somebody who has humility, who works hard, who's a great teammate? I mean, guys don't do that.”
Many of his teammates joked that he deliberately went shirtless in front of the paparazzi to get their attention away from his performance in training camp. Yet, it does not matter to anyone if that is the case.
Even Tebow’s roommate wide receiver Chaz Schilens was unable to keep away from this matter. He said that Tebow was the one who first told him about this matter. Schilens said:
"I didn't see it, but I heard it was all over the news,You guys got him on that. It was a little funny ... but I bet he doesn't do it again. I tell him, 'I don't know how you do it.'”
Meanwhile, Tebow got an amazing reception by fans on Sunday as he entered the field. The crowd roared when he went through the sideline.
Although he is a backup, Tebow has a good reputation among his teammates. He is known in the camp to be the guy who knows the ethics.
Tebow has been working out rigorously in the gym to get his body tough enough to take the beating when he plays.
