Tim Tebow Shares Emotional Visit With Young Gators Fan At Children's Hospital

By Ray Boyd

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- It seems like most people fall on one side of the coin or the other when it comes to Tim Tebow, at least from a football perspective. The same can not be said for what Tebow does away from the field.

Whether he is in the league or not, Tebow has a devoted fan base which stems primarily from his strong faith, his charitable efforts and his positive outlook on life.

The Tim Tebow Foundation, Tebow's charitable group which focuses on the well-being of children around the world, shared this video which illustrates the impact that Tebow has on his fans.

He recently visited a young boy named Nathaniel who is a patient at Wolfson Children's Hospital in Jacksonville and a devoted Gators fans.

Nathaniel is visibly left speechless at the sight of Tebow, before finally letting out "wow."

He then simply thanks Tebow for taking the time to visit him - a showing of gratitude that Tebow promptly responds to calling the visit his pleasure.

Whether you would have cheered for Tebow or not on Sunday's is irrelevant. This is hard not to root for.
