Tebow takes concussion recovery advice from Ex-NFL QB Young
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida quarterback Tim Tebow said former NFL star Steve Young was one of the people who gave him advice about playing after suffering a concussion.
“He had a lot of different things, but he was also encouraging me not to push it,” Tebow said Monday. “It was just different things that helped him as far as sleeping, as far as just resting your mind and not pushing it.”
Young retired from the NFL after the 1999 season. He suffered at least seven concussions, four in his final three seasons. Tebow said Young told him not to test himself by doing things such as running a sprint on his own just to see how he felt.
“When they do a test, then you’re OK. Don’t be testing yourself,” Tebow said he was told during of one of the conversations.
