Tim Tebow's time in Denver has become a part of The Chosen One's legend.
But can he rekindle the inexplicable magic he displayed during the 2011-2012 season (when the Broncos made the playoffs and defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers on a shocking touchdown pass to Brandon Marshall before being destroyed by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots) in a new location?
It hasn't happened yet. After obtaining Peyton Manning, the Broncos dealt Tebow to the New York Jets, where he mostly rode the pine — and since then, no NFL squad has given him a shot at redemption.
Now, however, he's reportedly on the cusp of signing with the Philadelphia Eagles — a development that caused Twitter to practically explode.
Here are our twenty favorite Bronco-centric tweets about Tebow rising again. Count them down below.
Number 20:
