Chuck Norris Pens Loving Ode To Tim Tebow

Chuck Norris has penned an ode to quarterback Tim Tebow in hopes of finding the guy a new job.

Apparently the 80s action hero is a pretty big fan of the QB. In fact, he’s such a rabid supporter of Tebow’s abilities that he wrote a 1,500-word ode to the professional football star in hopes that an NFL team discover the young quarterback’s inherent greatness.

Chuck Norris understands that people have criticized Tebow’s technical abilities, though the action hero seems to focus more on the quarterback’s skills as a natural born leader than anything else. Judging from his ode, Norris sees a lot of himself in the young star.

“I’ve heard the so-called critics say Tebow has poor technical skills, but the truth is that Tim is a natural-born leader, an amazingly gifted football player, an inspiration to his team and the possessor of intense determination and strategy to bring any team to victory — no matter what the odds,” Norris explained.

He added, “One can improve technique, but leadership is innate. That is why I believe Tebow could be a super star and legend in the NFL.”

The ode he penned for WND also includes a bit of Chuck Norris lore involving his students. The Invasion USA star said that he and Tebow are not really not all that different from one another.

Norris continued:

“I would spar with my black belts in class, and sometimes they would outscore me. Yet in the tournaments, I would defeat them. My students used to ask me, ‘Why can we contend equally against you in class, but we can’t beat you in the tournaments?’ My answer was always the same, ‘When it counts, I rise to the occasion.’ The same is true of the former Heisman Trophy winner.”

Why does Chuck Norris think a team should sign Tebow as soon as possible? According to the movie star, Tim could essentially transform a ho-hum team into something great.

“Tebow works miracles on the field, and his inclusion would embolden the spirit of the Jaguars among the team and fans. Plus — and this has no reflection on the current quarterbacks — Tim is from Florida, where he bears a victor legacy and an extensive fan base, to boot, from his days with the Gators,” Norris wrote.

Among other things, the action hero attempted to persuade Jaguars owner Shad Khan to sign Tebow by dropping a quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but he must take it because conscience tells him it is right,” Norris wrote.
