Tim Tebow"s 8 greatest miracles, ranked


WATCH: Tim Tebow belts second professional home run

We keep doubting Tim Tebow, and somehow, he keeps delivering.

One day after he hit a home run in his first minor league at-bat, we were wondering where that feat lands on a list of all the miraculous things hes done in the sports world.

Heres the answer: A ranking of his miracles over the years:

8. Being really good ontelevision

Look, hes no Hall of Famer on the air, but its okay to admit that hes much better than you thought hed be, with an ability to offer insights, hold a conversation and look relaxed.

7. Making the Florida-Ole Miss speech come true

He backed up the emotional promise he gave the world after a loss to the Rebels in 2008, winning every game after he delivered it, including the BCS Championship against Oklahoma. No wonder Florida turned the speech into a plaque outside of the Gators facility.

6. Becoming the first college sophomore to win the Heisman trophy

tebow threw 32 touchdowns and rushed for 23 more in 2007 and beat Darren McFadden, Colt Brennan and Chase Daniel. Oh, and he finished third in the 2008 vote.

5. Overcoming a 10-0 deficit and coming back to beat the Chicago Bears in the final 2:08 in 2011

This was also the infamous game in which Marion Barber went out of bounds instead of staying in and letting the clock run. Tebow took advantage and aided a comeback that ended with a win in overtime.

4. Convincing a Major League team to sign him to a minor league deal

A reminder: He hadnt played competitive baseball since high school before the New York Mets inked him.

3. Hitting a minor league home run

Id argue smacking a dinger off a minor league pitcher is actually easier than attempting to get a hit off a pitcher whos on a Major League roster (see below).

2. Getting a hit off a major league pitcher

It doesnt matter that Kyle Lobstein is the proud owner of a 5.06 ERA. Tebow got a hit off a guy whos thrown in 34 games.

1. Defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers in a Wild Card game

Did you expect anything else?
