It’s been an eventful year for Friday Night Lights fans. First Amy Schumer released her now-famous parody, then there was a shout out on _Orange Is the New Black’_s season three. But the biggest FNL moment is nearly upon us: Taylor Kitsch is returning to television.
The star is one of four new cast members to appear in the second season of HBO’s gritty drama True Detective, which premieres this Sunday. The new role has him playing a motorcycle patrol officer with sexual hang-ups, but to the truly committed, he’ll always be Tim Riggins. In honor of Kitsch’s long-awaited return to TV, here are all the times we fell in love with the most swoon-worthy fullback in all of Dillon.
When he gave Street the game ball.
When he told Lyla she had to go to Vanderbilt.

When he took care of his neighbor’s son.
When he convinced Street not to get a dangerous procedure in Mexico.
When he helped Street reunite with his girlfriend and child in New York.
When he took the fall for Billy’s crime.
When he perfectly described the plot of The Scarlet Letter.
