While much is made about Tim Tebow and religion, former Broncos safety Brian Dawkins is just as deeply embedded in faith. It is no surprise, then, that Dawkins was the first former Broncos teammate to tweet his good-byes to Tebow:
There is no doubt that Tebow will bring a lot of good off the field for the Jets. Dawkins' message to Tebow proves that Tim is not the only 'good guy' in the NFL and the Broncos would be wise to bring him back at some point during the off-season, if his neck proves to be healthy.@TimTebow, I wanna thank u, 4 wht u helped us do last year. On the field & off! I have NO doubt that u will B a blessing 4 the Jets!
