NFL Quarterback Was Chased by His Teammates to Test Claims He Was a Virgin
Former Florida Gators star Brandon Spikes made a shocking revelation during Netflix’s upcoming “Untold: Swamp Kings” documentary.
Spikes played alongside former NFL star Tim Tebow during his time in Florida.
Tebow represented the Denver Broncos, New York Jets, New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles, and Jacksonville Jaguars during his illustrious career.
However, he became equally well known for his faith and commitment to celibacy before marriage during his playing days.

While at an SEC media day, the quarterback was asked if he was saving himself for marriage.
“Yes, I am,” he responded.
Spikes admits that he did not take Tebow at his word and that he would try to show him naked photos of women just to see if he would respond.
“I just wanted to see if he was real,” Spikes said.
“So I would like, you know, maybe have a picture, a nude picture on my phone or something and show it to him just to see how he would react.
“He was like, ‘Come on man! Like, you really get a man uncomfortable!, and I was like, ‘Oh, he’s serious.'”
Spikes and Tebow won the 2006 and 2008 national championships while playing together.
Ryan Stamper was also a part of those two championship-winning sides.
The 38-year-old revealed that he used to be inundated with questions about his teammate’s sex life during his playing days.
“I was answering questions constantly about Tebow: ‘Hey, like Is he really a virgin?’ or ‘Is he really that perfect?’ or ‘Does he really just eat and sleep football?'” he said.
“I was like ‘Yeah, that’s who he is.'”
Tebow’s on-field celebration became known as ‘Tebowing’.
The NFL star would drop to one knee in prayer, and Spikes believes that fans in the USA loved his clean-cut style.
“Tebow was clean cut, no tattoos; America likes that,” Spikes said. “It’s a feel-good story.
“Here’s this kid that’s a virgin, that’s been doing missionary trips his whole life … doing all the right things. He was Captain America.”
Tebow married Miss Universe 2017 Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters in 2020, and the couple had their first child in July.
Former Florida Gators head coach Urban Meyer says that Tebow was the hardest-working member of his famous side.
“Tim was the only one, he was the hardest working guy,” he added.
“He did everything right.”
