Check out the Top 10 moments of Tim Tebow’s career after the jump!

10. Tebow Commits to UF: Nothing that happened over the past four years would have existed had Tebow decided to go to Alabama instead of Florida. (Can you imagine?)

9. I’m Coming Back!: The day Tebow announced he was returning for the 2009 season was the day the crushing “championship-or-bust” expectations were settled.

8. Circumcisions: If you want to see your profile raised with TV producers, sports-talk radio hosts and bloggers, you just need two words: “Snip. Snip.”

7. Crying: Alabama fans may have jeered the tears, but nothing showcased Tebow’s competitiveness like letting his emotions flow after the 2009 SEC Championship.

6. 20/20: The ultimate shorthand for one of the most dominant statistical performances by any individual college football player – let alone a QB – in history.

5. The Virgin: Another instant addition to the Tebow mythology. The funny part is that Tebow himself took it totally in stride, while the media completely flipped out.

4. Taunting Oklahoma: Tebow’s most human moment was a joy for Gator fans and a perfect ending to a national championship season.

3. John 3:16: Tebow and his family had no idea how powerful his platform as a college football player was until his title-game eye-black tilted Google.

2. The Jump-Pass: The defining play of Tebow’s career came merely a month after it started. It wasn’t pretty, but it was entirely effective – and cemented Tebow’s status as a cult hero in the world of college football.

As for No. 1, if it’s not obvious, we’ll give you a hint: It starts with “I’m sorry” and ends with “God bless.” It is also the most famous off-field moment in college football history.
