A lot of people want to see Christian athlete Tim Tebow play again for the NFL, so much so that they started an online petition asking Denver Broncos coach Gary Kubiak to take him in as their quarterback.

The petition was filed in Change.org and has already obtained over 1,890 signatures as of Friday, April 15. Will Garner from Palmer Lake, Colorado started the petition and wrote, "The Denver Broncos have lost their two main quarterbacks from their epic 2016 Super Bowl Championship winning season. We need a proven winner to continue to move this team in the right direction. Coach Gary Kubiak's offense would thrive with Tebow under center. He and the legendary John Elway can make this happen.

"We don't need a subpar throwaway from some other teams, we need an original Bronco who has the fire, desire, and love of the game to play as a Bronco again! As a bonus, the Bronco fans would be ecstatic! He just wins, we all know this!" he added.

Some of those who signed the petition commented that they want Tebow back not only because he is a wonderful quarterback, but also because he is a good role model.

"Tim Tebow is the greatest college football player of all time, and is responsible for quarterbacking the most exciting NFL games of my life. He seems like a genuinely great human being and I would love to see him get another chance to shine," wrote Jonathan Cornell.

Tebow has repeatedly expressed his love for football, but there is something in his life that interests him more—charity work. While speaking during an event hosted by the Tim Tebow Foundation, Tebow encouraged people not to get so wrapped up in their interests that they forget about God.

"We choose to idolise certain things, and love certain things," Tebow said. "I'm not saying it's wrong to love sports, I love them as much as anybody. But do we choose to really see what matters?"
