Through a number of social media posts, it was revealed that Tim Tebow — a former Heisman winner and SEC Network analyst, among other things — helped comfort a family through a medical emergency during a flight from Atlanta to Phoenix this past weekend.
In the middle of the Delta flight, a man began to have a heart attack. While the crew started attending to the man, Tebow moved from first class to where the man and his wife were. Though Tebow didn’t do anything medically, he stayed near the couple and tried to help comfort the wife during the flight. He also helped lead a prayer for the man. Once the plane landed, Tebow even helped the woman get to the hospital to see her husband.

So far, while neither Delta nor Tebow have come out and directly referenced the former NFL quarterback’s helping hand, Tebow’s appearance has blown up on social media.

This instance is just one of a few in recent weeks that have shown Tebow’s graciousness. Following the Orlando shootings, Tebow visited an old high school teammate in the hospital after being shot at Pulse nightclub. Florida senator Marco Rubio has even recommended that the former Gator replace a former confederate statue in the National Statutory Hall Collection in Washington D.C.

Overall, this is a nice gesture by Tebow and another reminder that we cannot get enough of TebowMania.
