Tim Tebow made an NFL career out of being at the right place at the right time. If he played bad for the first 58 minutes of an NFL game, he oftentimes played well for those final two minutes and led the Denver Broncos to some ludicrous win.

Something kind of similar happened on a recent flight that Tebow was on that was heading to Phoenix from Atlanta. Someone had a medical emergency, and of course, Tebow just happened to be there to help that family during their time of need. The entire incident was caught on video, and here was a snippet from the post’s author.

An older gentleman began having what appeared to be heart problems, and he went unconscious. I watched strangers from all over the world and every ethnicity come to the help of this man for over an hour! Whether it was chest compressions, starting an IV, helping breathe life into this man, or praying everyone helped! I listened to shock after shock from the AED machine and still no pulse. No one gave up. I observed people praying and lifting this man up to the Lord in a way that I’ve never seen before. The crew of Delta Airlines were amazing. They acted in a fast and professional manner! Then all of a sudden, I observed a guy walking down the aisle. That guy was Tim Tebow. He met with the family as they cried on his shoulder! I watched Tim pray with the entire section of the plane for this man.

So all joking aside – because whenever Tebow is in the news for just about anything, it’s really, really easy to start cracking jokes at his expense – this was a pretty nice gesture from Tebow. While he wasn’t able to help out the older man with his medical emergency, he was able to be there for the person’s family to provide some support, which is admirable.
