The hallmark of Tim Tebow’s National Football League career was an ability to really try hard, to run the ball kind of effectively, to find ways to win games and to airmail passes in even the least competitive situations.
The former southpaw quarterback will report to the Florida Instructional League starting with a three hour workout Monday morning.
He signed with the Mets for a $100,000 bonus and will try to carve out a career in baseball despite an 11-year absence from the game. I didnt want to put down a bat since.. “I don’t have to live with regret”.
The Mets say Tebow will be excused Friday and Saturday for his broadcasting duties with the SEC Network. You may be wondering how his first day was at Mets fall instructional camp. And he showed a need for work, after one of his throws sailed well over someone’s head during a simple game of catch.
Though he has insisted his pursuit of an Major League Baseball career isn’t a sideshow, Tebow still has his share of detractors.
According to ESPN, teams aren’t usually allowed to use a player’s name or image until he makes the 40-man major league roster.
And now that the jerseys are available online, Tebow mania is spreading, as only jerseys featuring Noah Syndergaard and custom nameplates are selling more.
