Marco Rubio Proposes Tim Tebow Statue At The U.S. Capitol

Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith, a native Floridian who has represented the Sunshine State in the U.S. Capitol's National Statuary Hall for years, will soon be replaced.

On Wednesday, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) tweeted a suggestion for Smith's replacement: Tim Tebow.

Tebow was a Florida Gators quarterback  from 2006 to 2009 before moving on to the NFL. He led the Gators to two BCS National Championships and won the Heisman Trophy in 2007. He's now a college football analyst for the SEC Network, which is owned by ESPN. 

During his time with the Denver Broncos, Tebow became a household name for his signature prayer pose , known as "Tebowing."

Perhaps this is how Rubio would like to see the football player immortalized in stone at the Capitol for years to come.
