Tim Tebow is testing out his skills in the minor leagues, but it’s his interaction with a fan that’s making headlines.
The former NFL quarterback reportedly saved a fan who was suffering a seizure after the game between the Scottsdale Scorpions and the Glendale Desert Dogs.

As Tebow greeted fans and media and signed autographs after the game, a fan had an epileptic seizure and the athlete stepped into help.

According to reports, the man said that he was a University of Georgia fan, which is a rival to Tebow’s alma mater, the University of Florida.
“You’re a Bulldog? You’re kidding me,’’ Tebow reportedly responded. “Don’t even know how to respond to that.’’
This isn’t the first time Tebow’s helped someone in a difficult situation. Earlier this year while on a plane, he prayed with the family of a man who was suffering heart issues.
“I observed a guy walking down the aisle,” Richard V. Gotti, another passenger on the plane, recounted in a Facebook post.
“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. He made a stand for God in a difficult situation.”
