Why Tebow and not Floyd Little or others?

While in col­lege, Tim Tebow donned Bible vers­es on his eye black to show his reli­gious con­vic­tions. Pho­to by Gary W. Green/Orlando Sen­tinel

I ran into Woody Paige after the Rock­ies game on Sun­day. And as we watched the final quar­ters of the Bron­cos game, Woody stat­ed that when he was at the NFL Hall of Fame induc­tion cer­e­mo­ny a cou­ple of weeks ago every one of the inductees thanked God. So, why does Tim Tebow get crit­i­cized for his faith and oth­ers don’t?

Good ques­tion. Why do you think Tebow is bashed more than say Floyd Lit­tle who said he “gives all the glo­ry to his lord and sav­ior, Jesus Christ” as the very first words in his induc­tion speech?
