The next day it was all about "spirituality." 

Coincidence? Not at all.

Patriots owner Robert Kraft said Wednesday that Tim Tebow's faith-based makeup was a factor in deciding to bring the quarterback into the fold.

"He's a winner, and the fact that spirituality is so important to him is very appealing to me," Kraft said, according to CBS Boston.

The report included two more quotes with the word "spirituality." Kraft was speaking from a charity event in honor of his late wife, Myra:

- "For me personally, having Tim Tebow on this team, he's someone who believes in spirituality, he's very competitive, works hard and has a great attitude."

- "You can't have enough good people around you, and (Tebow) has the added dimension of spirituality being so important to him, and that personally appeals to me a lot."

Tebow was cut by the Jets in April after one disappointing season in New York. Many wondered whether he was through in the NFL -- until the Patriots swooped in and signed him to a non-guaranteed two-year deal.

New England coach Bill Belichick has been mum on Tebow's role, though with future Hall of Famer Tom Brady under center you can be sure there will be no QB controversy this time around.
