SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Tim Tebow is one step away from the Big Show. He’s still in no rush. “I enjoy the process every day, enjoy every opportunity I get,” Tebow said as he prepared for Thursday’s International League opener with the Syracuse Mets. “That’s one thing I take a lot of pride in — having fun and not just the destination but truly enjoying the journey.” Tebow, the 2007 Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback for the Florida Gators, a team he led to a pair of national championships, bounced around the NFL for three years (2010-12), playing 35 games with the Denver Broncos and New York Jets and also delving into broadcasting before deciding to turn his main focus to baseball. “One of the hardest decisions I ever made was choosing to go football over baseball,” he said. “It’s an itch I’ve always had and a passion I’ve always had, and it didn’t go away after years.

Wiedmer: UTC makes Tim Tebow’s Night to Shine more special than ever
Mark Wiedmer Mark Wiedmer Photo by Staff File Photo/Times Free Press The supposed highlight of the evening was still close to an hour away. At 8 this past Friday at the John A. Patton Recreation Center in Lookout Valley, Tim Tebow would appear on a giant screen and make this announcment to close to 150 special-needs folks who had just received crowns and tiaras for his foundation's "Night to Shine" prom: "I now crown you queen and king."
