Former professional football player Tim Tebow is looking to switch it up and is actively pursuing a Major League Baseball career!
“Are you insinuating we need a Hail Mary at this point?” he said. The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs have not heard from Tebow’s agent regarding the proposition to play here in Waldorf as of yet.
According to Khan and Sexton, the ESPN/SEC Network broadcaster has trained for the last several months in Scottsdale, Arizona and in Los Angeles at a sport he hasn’t played for more than a decade.
The 2007 Heisman Trophy victor and former NFL first-round draft pick plans to hold a workout for Major League Baseball teams to scout him.
“Tim’s athletic ability, his work ethic, his leadership and his competitiveness were evident in football and will show in baseball”. “Knowing Tim’s passion and desire, we won’t be surprised by anything he accomplishes”.
Tim Tebow damn near broke the Internet on Tuesday morning in classic Tebow-ian fashion. Tebow was offered a contract by the Schaumberg (Illinois) Boomers of the independent Frontier League to play outfield. “Tebow brings all of those characteristics and then some. I think he’d be a great fit here in Schaumberg”.
“This may sound like a publicity stunt, but nothing could be further from the truth”, Wagenen insisted. “I want to see what kind of player he is, I haven’t seen him play baseball”.
Some took to Twitter to voice their approval.
“I spent time with Tim Tebow in the cages”, Sheffield wrote, “he’s a NATURAL”. “Who knows if it got to him, and if it did we just never got it back”.
Tim Tebow is best known for playing for the Florida Gators in college, but he has also played in the National Football League with the New York Jets, New England Patriots, and the Denver Broncos.
So what does the Jets’ wideout think about Tim Tebow -his former teammate in Denver- and the quarterback’s decision to make a run at the Major League Baseball? He went to training camp with the New England Patriots in 2013 and the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015 but was cut before the season each time.
