On the day of the 2020 NFL Draft, former Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow shared a great throwback post on Twitter.
“Throwback to 10 years ago, such a fun time,” Tebow said. “Happy for all those whose dream comes true tonight.”
Then, in typical Tebow fashion, the former Heisman Trophy winner posted a message of encouragement for prospects who won’t be selected in the first round on Thursday evening.
“But for [all] those that don’t [get drafted], it’s not the end,” Tebow said. “Keep grinding, keep working 💪🏽 #throwbackthursday #tbt”
Tebow was selected by the Denver Broncos with the 25th overall pick in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He helped the Broncos reach the postseason during his second season but Denver lost to the New England Patriots 45-10 in the divisional round of the playoffs.
After signing Peyton Manning in 2012, the Broncos traded Tebow to the New York Jets and his football career went downhill. After brief stints with the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles, Tebow gave up football and started pursuing a career as a professional baseball player.
Tebow is now entering his fifth season as a minor league baseball player.
