Florida quarterback Tim Tebow has decided to skip the NFL and add to his college football legacy with the Gators.

“Overall, I just felt loyal to this place,” Tebow said. “I feel like I’m a role model, and a lot of times people start things and don’t finish them. I didn’t want to be like that. I wanted to be loyal to the university. I wanted to finish what I started and play another year.”

With another great season, Tebow has an opportunity to go down as the best college football player to ever live, but even he’ll admit he was tempted to enter the NFL.

“It was tough because some of that stuff is tempting at the next level and everything that goes along with it, especially ending on a great note ending with the national championship and moving on from there,” Tebow said. “I love these guys and coach Meyer and this program too much and I feel we can still end on a bang next year.”

Great choice by Tebow. He wouldn’t have been drafted high in the NFL anyways, so waiting another year can’t hurt his stock.
