Former NFL quarterback turned Mets minor leaguer Tim Tebow tended to a fan who reportedly had a seizure in the stands.
Tebow had been signing autographs and had already passed a man who identified himself as Brandon who collapsed to the ground from an apparent seizure.
According to USA Today, Tebow comforted the man and waited with him until paramedics arrived.
According to one witness, Tebow put his hands on him and said a prayer:
Tebow signing autographs. Fan has what looks like seizure. Not moving. Tebow puts hand on him and says a prayer. Man breathes. WOW.

"Brandon" told USA Today that the seizure likely resulted from a brain tumor or frontal lobe epilepsy.
Tebow went zero for three with three groundouts at his AFL debut. He later ran into the outfield fence in the fifth inning and was replaced in left field at the bottom of the sixth inning.
