Tebow gained a huge following of fans with this celebration. In an act of celebration, he would kneel in the End Zone and bow his head in an act of prayer and gratitude for the grace God showed on him.
He turned himself into a viral internet meme! Instagram and Facebook were subsequently flooded with images of people recreating the pose in various locations.
Tebow even tweeted a picture of the infamous hip-hop/rap artist, Snoop Dogg, Tebowing!
This is the kind of thing that Christians would call a miracle.
