The 25 Fittest Football Players

Tim Tebow – Quarterback – New York Jets

You look at Tim Tebow with his schoolboy looks and his squeaky-clean image and you wonder how he can possibly make it in the National Football League. Then you peek a little further under the surface and see that Tebow is a health nut that keeps himself in top physical condition at all times. He’s amazingly fit and stronger than you’d ever believe. The 6'3", 236 pound New York Jets quarterback (who performed late-game heroics a number of times to help lead the 2011 Denver Broncos to their first AFC West title and playoff game since 2005) might not have the prettiest mechanics on the field, but his work ethic is second to none.

Tebow runs a 4.72-second 40-yard dash and has a 38.5” vertical leap. He made the 2009 MF 25 and has been known to bench nearly 500 pounds. Tebow even recently took to training jiu-jitsu in the off-season with the legendary Gracie family. Love him or hate him, you can’t deny that the guy is an absolute workhorse. Oh, and he also won two national championships and a Heisman Trophy. Who’s laughing now?
