The former NFL quarter-back, Tim Tebow, made a surprise visit to President Donald Trump in the White House on Tuesday, in the middle of his fight against sexual abuse.
Tebow, winner of the Heisman trophy at the college, testified before the legislators last year to join the support for a bill, the Reneed Hope Act, which would aim to save thousands of children victims of sexual abuse and better equip internal security to do so.
On Tuesday, he, his wife Dani-Leigh and the American secretary of the State Marco Rubio appeared alongside President Trump in the Oval Office, the first three making the Gator Chomp of the University of Florida in a photo published by the Communication Advisor Margo Martin.
Trump smiled while sitting on a chair in front of them.
Tebow played Florida at university and won two national championships with school, while Rubio is also a former and previously served as a Florida senator.
Trump has not yet discussed his meeting with Tebow, who was the last time in the NFL in 2012.

The former broncos passer told the Judicial Committee of the Chamber last March that an international database hosted by Interpol had photos and videos of at least 50,000 unidentified children sexually exploited.
Tebow, whose eponymous foundation launched in 2010, said about its organization, … WE fight for those who cannot fight to themselves – and that’s exactly why we are here today.
As noted by the Tim Tebow Foundation website, the bill would require hiring and training at least 200 ‘investigators, computer criminalics and criminal analysts to the children’s operating surveys and HSI field offices.
The bill was also supported by Senator John Cornyn from Texas, Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, representative Laurel Lee de Florida and representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida.
Before Trump’s first term, it was reported that Tebow would be expressed to the National Republican Convention in 2016, Trump’s support.
Tebow later said that he knew nothing about the “rumor” because he called her in a video published on social networks, and said he would not speak to the RNC.
The former passer, now 37 years old, was drafted 25th in the general classification of the 2010 NFL draft and played in 35 games (16 departures) for the Broncos.
He is known to most professional fans for his winning touch of the fire at Demaryius Thomas during the 2012 qualifying series.
Tebow has appeared on ESPN as an university football analyst since 2017.
