, politics and football. What a combination.

In the eyes of United States Senator--and

--Marco Rubio, the U.S. Capitol should consider putting them together on a permanent basis.

As the state of Florida is going through the process of replacing an old Confederate General that, for some reason, still sits in the U.S. Capitol's National Statuary Hall, suggestions are being solicited.

Rubio chimed in with one of Florida's most famous athletes: Tebow.

Here's suggestion for #Florida which looking 4 help replacing state statue in U.S. Capitol https://t.co/BihagrJh0p pic.twitter.com/wmko6vtkrC — Marco Rubio (@marcorubio) May 18, 2016



Of course, Tebow currently has no affiliation to politics or legislation or non-football history in the state of Florida. But, to Rubio's credit, he did pick one of the best college football players of all time and someone that's clearly famous for more reasons than just the ability to dominate in the SEC.



And if Tebow does indeed scratch an itch to possibly get into politics down the line? The fit would make even more sense. The ex-Broncos, Jets, Patriots and Eagles quarterback is currently out of the NFL--and likely won't be getting a chance to make a fifth team any time soon, so a future run for office could be in the cards.



Tebow might be able to make an eventual run with a statue of himself already in the halls of the U.S. Capitol. That would have to be a first in United States political history.
