Tim Tebow was known for his clean-cut image during his football career, and according to one former teammate, that even applied to huddles.
On the latest episode of Bro Bible's "Endless Hustle Podcast," former New York Jets center Nick Mangold recalled one instance when Tebow refused to say a play that included the word "shit."
"We had a play that was a 'Y Oh Shit Screen,' where the tight end actually fakes like he fell down on a running play, hops up, runs back over, throws back to the tight end and it's usually wide open," Mangold explained. "And he comes in - you, know he was the backup quarterback, so he'd run one or two plays each week - and he comes in and, you know, he's got the script there and everything.
"And he starts reading it, and he goes through the whole formation and gets to the last play: 'Y, - alright - Screen, you guys know what it is.' And we're like, 'No, Tim, what is it?'"
Mangold said Tebow still refused to say the word, and the team ended up getting in trouble for taking so long in the huddle.

Tebow apparently isn't totally averse to swearing, though. Florida coach Dan Mullen revealed in 2018 that Tebow once dropped an F-bomb on the Gators' team bus but "will deny it until he dies."
