Darrelle Revis praises Tim Tebow's leadership
"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," Revis said.
Tebow's leadership knows no bounds. He can inspire in the salad bar line and everywhere else.
"He's a born leader," Revis said via the New York Daily News. "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."
Guard Matt Slauson noted that Tebow works really hard and meshes well with the rest of the team. Yes, the Jets have caught Tebowmania.
"Some people have it. Some guys don't," Revis said. "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."
Revis later said Tebow had the "it" factor. It's hard not to wonder if Revis also believes whether Mark Sanchez has "it."
If the New York Jets accomplished anything this off-season, it's that they'll always be in the headlines. The Jets locker room was fractured last year, and maybe New York hoped that bringing in Tim Tebow would fix that.
All the Jets players have been saying all the right things to that aim, Joe McKnight credited Tebow with helping him with his diet, and now Revis has nothing but praise for what the QB can bring to this team.
I wonder what Mark Sanchez has to say about all this? And I wonder if a back up quarterback can really be the leader in the locker room...
Do you think Tim Tebow helps or hurts the Jets?
