It's his puppy dog eyes and lazy smile that make you want to give him a big hug. Tim Riggins is a character that you want to slap upside the head and yell at because of his stupid mistakes. Though he may act as if he is nonchalant about the team and the sport, Tim needs the sport the most to help ground himself. While he may not excel at school, he is incredibly gifted and naturally talented to play fullback on his high school's football team. Tim comes from a broken home where both of his parents abandon him and his brother Billy in a haze of alcohol and drugs, leaving the boys to fend for themselves. At first glance, it's easy to write off Tim as your typical frat boy/philanderer, but as the show evolves so does his depth. For me, Tim Riggins encapsulates everything that I love about the show. It was really hard to choose one character from Friday Night Lights because the entire cast of characters are amazing.
