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.

Tim stayed with the man until the paramedics arrived.

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.”

Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant is giving back to his hometown of Seattle by helping underprivileged kids share his love for basketball.

In collaboration with Sparkling Ice®, the NBA MVP’s Kevin Durant’s Charity Foundation (KDCF) renovated the basketball court at Powell Barnett Park during its “BUILD IT AND THEY WILL BALL” court renovation initiative. This initiative aims to increase the number of high-quality, playable  basketball courts that are available for underprivileged youth across the United States and the globe.

Happy birthday to @KDTrey5! We’re so proud to partner with Kevin in giving back to the community. # pic.twitter.com/pacTjFtI3y

“Since we first started collaborating with Kevin Durant in 2014, we have looked forward to the day we would work together to unveil the renovated basketball court for our local community,” said Kevin Klock, President and CEO of Talking Rain Beverage Co, the owner of Sparkling Ice.

“Durant started his professional career right here in Seattle, and we are proud to support his foundation in giving back to our community that has given us so much.”

During the big reveal of the court’s full renovation, Durant shot some hoops with children from the Boys and Girls Club Garfield, and surrounding communities

“I am proud of the work we accomplished for the BUILD IT AND THEY WILL BALL program this past year,” said Durant.

“I have always been thankful for the role basketball played in my life as I was growing up and I understand that access to high-quality courts is important for the next generation to learn, play and have fun on. I have seen the success of these courts first hand. And now with the help of Sparkling Ice, I am thrilled to bring the same opportunities to the Seattle community that is so near to my heart.”

The KDCF benefitted other communities with its “BUILD IT AND THEY WILL BALL” initiatives including Oklahoma City, Austin, TX, Germany, and China.

He’s back on the field, but let’s take a moment to reflect on Russell Wilson’s amazing efforts for children’s health.

The Seattle Seahawks quarterback’s Why Not You Foundation has raised more than $1M for the Seattle Children’s Hospital and its Strong Against Cancer program.

In an interview with People, the charitable athlete said, “Our mission at the Why Not You Foundation is to empower and inspire change in others one individual at a time and one kid at a time, and in turn they pass it on creating a snowball effect.”

He presented a check to the cause during his team’s faceoff with the Dallas Cowboys earlier in the season.

“I’m really grateful to have the opportunity to be able to help and spread the love to these amazing kids. With this donation, I’m praying and believing that a young kid’s life will be saved just like young Milton Wright’s life and many others’ lives so far,” Wilson continued.

According the publication, the proceeds were raised during a summer charity event that Wilson co-hosted with NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne. Why Not You also raised money through in-store promotions at Safeway stores across the country.

San Diego Chargers running back Danny Woodhead made a name for himself scoring touchdowns on Sunday, but it’s the NFL veteran’s writing skills that are garnering his latest headlines.

Woodhead is the latest professional athlete to pen a piece for the The Players’ Tribune’s recurring series, “Letter to My Younger Self.” In it, the undersized football player (5’8”, 200 lbs.) informed his 18-year-old self (then 5’7”, 175 lbs.) to “persevere, prove others wrong, and always keep his faith.”

Like many other youngsters growing up in Nebraska, Woodhead dreamt of playing football for the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers. However, when the Huskers only offered him a walk-on position as a kick returner, Woodhead headed in another direction.

“When one door to college football closed, God pushed another one open. Remember that. It will become a theme — a mantra, almost — for your football career,” Woodhead wrote.

That other door led him to Division II Chadron State College. The decision to follow in his father’s footsteps and join his older brother Ben proved to be the right choice as Woodhead rushed for over 8,000 yards in his collegiate career and won two Harlon Hill trophies – the D-II equivalent of the Heisman Trophy.

Despite proving to himself and others that he had what it took to compete with athletes twice his size, Woodhead warned himself, more disappointments lie ahead.

“It’s a feeling you need to get used to, Danny. You’ll feel it again when — even though you’ll graduate from Chadron State as the all-time NCAA rushing leader — you aren’t invited to work out for NFL scouts at the combine.

Say what you will about God’s plan, but He’s remarkably consistent. But so are you — both in your play on the field and in how you overcome adversity,” he wrote.

Woodhead’s NFL dreams wouldn’t be realized on Draft Day (he went undrafted), nor would they come during his first year with the New York Jets in 2008 (he tore his ACL in training camp and was eventually cut).

“It’s over, you’ll think. I’m never going to play football again. It’s not like you to be pessimistic, but it’s a pretty rational thought to have. I mean, what NFL team wants an undersized, undrafted rookie who just missed a full season after ACL surgery?” he wrote.

But one team did want him and it just so happened to be the best franchise in professional football: the New England Patriots.

Woodhead blossomed under head coach Bill Belichick’s system and clicked with quarterback Tom Brady. He even scored a touchdown in Super Bowl XLIV but that also came with a caveat.

“It will be the greatest moment of your football life. But there won’t be a fairy-tale ending to this one, Danny. Because despite your big moment, your team will lose the game, 21–17,” he wrote.

Woodhead’s roller-coaster football career led him to his current job with the Chargers and while he can’t go back in time and inspire himself with his story, his words can help other undersized 18-year-olds with big dreams to never give up.

“I still thank God every day for the blessings I have in my life. It’s been an incredible ride, and I’m hoping I still have four or five years left to play the game that I’ve loved my entire life,” Woodhead wrote before ending the piece, “Trust in God’s plan. When one door closes, don’t get down on yourself. Because He will open another. And when He does, do what you do best and run through it.”
