Darrelle Revis gushes over Tim Tebow’s leadership, positive attitude

Antonio Cromartie may not have thought much of Tim Tebow initially, but his teammate Darrelle Revis certainly does. Revis talked about Tebow on Wednesday, and had nothing but extreme praise for the team’s new backup quarterback.

“He’s a born leader,” Revis said of Tebow. “He really is. Very few athletes have the gift that he has. He tries to lead by example all the time and he tries to be positive, which is awesome. I think that results (in) his success on the field. He came in with Denver and did unbelievable. And now he’s with us. We’re happy. We’re excited for him. We’re happy (that) he’ll bring his leadership qualities to this team.”

Revis augmented that statement by saying Tebow as the “it” factor.

“Some people have it. Some guys don’t,” Revis said. “It’s the passion within … of him wanting to be a leader, wanting to win. You see it in him all the time … eating lunch. Walking down the hallway you see it. He’s just one of those guys. He’s very positive. He has passion for what he does and you could see it. You can see it on him when you have a conversation with him. He’s just a leader.”

Wait, wait, wait a second. Are you telling me that Tim Tebow eats his lunch like a leader? What does that mean? He shows his peas and carrots who’s boss? He cuts his steaks with authority? His bites are super deliberate?

Seriously though, it’s no surprise to hear the praise from Revis. Tebow has been considered a leader everywhere he’s been, and he’s generally well liked by his teammates.
