Tim Tebow visited the Orlando campus of Full Sail University on Monday March 7 for a screening of the documentary "Tim Tebow: Everything In Between". The film, which was directed by Full Sail graduate Chase Heavener, chronicles Tebow's preparation for the National Football League draft and debuted on ESPN in January as part of ESPN's "Year of the Quarterback" series. Tebow appeared with Heavener for a question and answer session with Full Sail students, staff and members of the public. And, of course, Gator Gridiron was there!
The film presents an insightful, behind-the-scenes look at Tebow during a major turning point in his life and football career---the process of transitioning from iconic, Heisman Trophy and National Championship college QB to preparing for entry into a surprisingly skeptical National Football League. "Tim Tebow: Everything In Between" begins at the 2010 Sugar Bowl, Tebow's last college game, the Gators blow-out win over Cincinnati, where he established the All-Time passing yardage record (over 450 yards) for a Bowl Championship Series game, and ends as Tebow is selected by the Denver Broncos with the 25th pick in the 1st round of the NFL draft. Director Heavener skillfully leads viewers into the inner world of "Team Tebow", capturing Tebow's Herculean passion and capacity for hard work, the decision making processes of the tight-knit Tebow family, the business side of being a national superstar with extraordinary upside potential as advertising spokesman and media celebrity, and the voracious, vehement and often mean-spirited anti-Tebow backlash that broke out among large swaths of the national sports media as Tebow prepared to take the next big step in his football career.
