If you're a Friday Night Lights fan, you know very well who Tim Riggins is. And if you've never seen the show, he's basically just the bad boy football star and sensitive hottie of your dreams, all wrapped into one heart-throbbing package. If you haven't already fallen under the Tim Riggins spell, you're about to...
1. He's the star running back of the Dillon Panthers.
Basically every girl who has walked this earth has fantasized about having that cliche football relationship. No shame. #33 on the field, #1 in my heart.
2. He's actually really sensitive.
Tim Riggins may seem hard and dysfunctional on the outside, but he's really just a big softie. He's no JD McCoy, who grew up lavishly and extremely fortunate; Tim had a rough upbringing. He and his brother, Billy, had to work hard all by themselves just to stay above water, which is most likely what keeps him so grounded and humbled.
3. He loves kids.
Tim didn't even think twice about taking his neighbor under his wing when he moved in next door. And for some reason, there's just somethin' about cute boys holding babies that makes us girls swoon.
4. He's genuine and honest.
Sure, maybe he took advantage of his football-star status and slept with most of the rally girls, but once he fell in love with Lyla we saw his compassionate side. (You probably envied Lyla and maybe even hated her for a while because of it...I know I did.)
5. He knows how to have a good time.
It's 5 o'clock somewhere.
6. He's a family man.
Tim took the blame for his brother's crime and went to prison for it...if that's not loyalty then I don't know what is.
7. He's affectionate.
If you either hate Lyla or you want to be Lyla or a combination of the both, you are not alone.
8. He's protective.
Probably the only time you've ever wanted to be in a tornado was when you watched the episode where he shielded Julie from flying debris.
9. He's beautiful.
You're welcome for blessing you with this GIF.
May you all find your own Tim Riggins. Amen.
