Tim Tebow News: Ex-NFL QB Returns To Jacksonville To Help CJ Stewart Foundation

Former Florida Gators QB Tim Tebow returns to the state where he dominated college football for a charitable cause. The CJ Stewart Foundation was created by a former soldier of the same name, who received the Purple Heart. The prestigious award is given to soldiers who were injured or killed while serving the United States military. Tebow will help support the foundation's biggest ministries Down Range.

"We want Down Range to be a place where youth can learn their value as individuals and know they are loved. To learn they can be successful not for any other reason, but because of the God who loves them," according the official website of CJ Stewart Foundation.

Tebow won the Heisman Trophy in 2007. In addition, Tebow ignited the Florida Gators to two consecutive 13-1 records. Furthermore, he also helped the Gators win two National Championship titles in three years. Moreover, Tebow was named Most Valuable Player of the National Championship Game six years ago. Despite all the awards he has won in his collegiate career during the beginning of "Tebowmania," he revealed in another interview what is really important.

"I believe that everyone, regardless of who they are, should do something that is greater than themselves," said the 26-year old ex-Heisman Trophy winner to People's Magazine. "Whether it's adoption, or helping people who are sick, or poor, or whatever. That's what God put us on this earth to do."

The former New York Jets and Denver Broncos athlete was released by the New England Patriots during the 2013 NFL preseason and did not find a new squad during the regular season. Tebow signed a multi-year contract with ESPN to work for the SEC Network, which will debut in August 2014. Tebow has played three seasons in the NFL, his best coming with Broncos in 2011, when he threw for 1,729 yards and 12 touchdowns.
