This week, Chiefs Wire’s Ed Easton Jr. spoke to Heisman Trophy winner and former Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.
In his interview with Easton Jr., Tebow, on behalf of the 2024 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team, as he recently joined forces with New Orleans nonprofit Son of a Saint for a day of mentorship, shared his thoughts on the Kansas City Chiefs’ three-peat chances heading into the postseason.
At the event, Tebow and former NFL quarterback Danny Wuerffel participated in interactive sessions on nutrition, martial arts, and a roundtable discussion on life beyond sports. Together, they created an unforgettable experience of learning, growth, and camaraderie, continuing a 33-year tradition of the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.

Tebow played in the NFL for three seasons, primarily with the Denver Broncos. In the 2011 season, he scored a victory at Arrowhead Stadium with only two completed passes. He gave his opinion on this year’s Chiefs as the postseason gets underway next week.
“I haven’t studied them a lot, like breaking down film. I think when you have Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes and (Travis) Kelce and the staples they have, you’re always going to have a really good chance,” Tebow explained. “Patrick deserves all the hype and credit he gets and so many players, but I also think Andy Reid deserves a lot of credit. You look at what he has done for so much of his career, and it’s been exceptional, with play calling, third downs, red area, and developing quarterbacks.”
Tebow praised the culture that head coach Andy Reid developed in Philadelphia and carried over to Kansas City.
“It’s just so many incredible steps, and then he got over the hump once he got to Kansas City. But remember, he went to a Super Bowl in Jacksonville against the (New England) Patriots and lost to Tom Brady when he was with the (Philadelphia) Eagles,” said Tebow. “I just love the way that players want to play for him. And, like you see the commercials he’s in, how many other coaches are doing that type of thing? I think he’s done a great job of being a player’s coach. And I think right now, in 2024, he’s got a really good thing going, and so it’s a special team, and I think they have a chance to do something very exceptional.”
