EXCLUSIVE: TIM TEBOW LAID BARE!

With his crushing defeat at the hand of dreaded partyboy rival TOM BRADY has TIM TEBOW’S halo begun to fade? Exposed: HUSH- HUSH SECRETS of the God-fearing NFL poster boy as the Denver Broncos quarterback is a God-fearing Christian with a locker full of secrets!

They include his hush-hush marriage plan, his obses­sion with saving murderers on death row, his shocking collapse following one of his worst games as a pro and how he almost “died” four times before birth.

The ENQUIRER has learned ex­clusively that the 24-year-old, dubbed the “Mile-High Messiah,” believes that he will be mar­ried at 30, the same age at which Jesus started his ministry.

Although he’s been linked to several women over the years, no one has ever emerged from the mix. Most recently, rumors swirled about a romance with sexy blonde ski racer Lindsey Vonn, who announced her split from hus­band Thomas in November.

But while she is close to the Tebow clan – sitting in his family’s stadium box during a Broncos game – Lindsey insists that she and Tim aren’t cur­rently dating.

Whoever the lucky girl turns out to be, she’ll have a virgin for a hus­band – the 6-foot-3 hunk claims he’s saving himself for marriage!

Tebow – whose kneeling in prayer after touchdowns has become known as “Tebowing” – doesn’t just talk about a moral life. He backs it up with his words and deeds.

“Tebow is an athlete who doesn’t indulge his dark side,” New York-based psychologist Dr. Stanley Teitelbaum told The ENQUIRER. “In fact, he is a shining example of good looks, clean cut living and solid religious values.”

It’s said that Tebow has visited every condemned inmate in Florida to help spread the word of God.

“They are people that need hope,” he explains.

Tebow actually needed some hope himself when he suffered a secret emotional collapse after three late season losses, reveal sources.

“The final nail in the coffin was the Broncos’ terrible loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Denver,” an NFLinsider told The ENQUIRER. “After the game, Tim collapsed in a heap on the floor and began bawling like a baby. He felt like he was an abject failure.”

But memories of meeting Jacob Rainey, a former prep quarterback who had part of his right leg am­putated in September, brought Tebow back from despair.

“To Tim, Jacob’s story was both heartbreaking and inspirational,” said the insider. “Tim realized that his own problems were small next to the real battles that Rainey faced.

“In addition, after his collapse, Tim kept on repeating one of his favorite Biblical verses, John 3:16, over and over. Amazingly, in the Broncos’ upset playoff victory in the overtime against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Jan. 8, he passed for 316 yards!

Tebow’s whole life seems like a mar­vel, right from the start. His parents Bob and Pam were missionaries in the Philippines when she got pregnant with Tim. She caught amoebic dysen­tery and was advised to abort the baby because of the powerful medicines had to take to combat the infection.

But Tim’s parents decided against abortion and prayed instead for a healthy baby, but nearly lost him four times.

Said Bob: “He’s a miracle baby, so we’ve reminded him of that hun­dreds of times.”
