Tim Tebow to the XFL? Star QB says he's had 'some communication' with the new league
It has been several years since former Florida great Tim Tebow last suited up for a football game.
He’s currently a minor leaguer in the New York Mets system and is gearing up for another spring training with the team. However, as the XFL goes through its second weekend of games, the call to return to the gridiron could come soon for Tebow.
Per Tim Healey, a Mets beat writer, Tebow has had some communication with the XFL, but isn’t leaving baseball just yet:
Tim Tebow said he had “some communication” with the XFL, but he is dedicated to baseball right now.

He added that he loves what the XFL is doing and believes some players will get NFL roster spots after impressing teams in this new league.

Perhaps if the XFL returns in 2021 for a second season, Tebow will join it, but it seems as if it might be too late to play quarterback for a team in the new league this year.
Either way, fans of Tebow’s will closely monitor his interest with the XFL in the coming months.
Well SOMEONE has to take Aaron Murray’s job because he outright SUCKS and has no business putting his hands on a football ever again in his or anyone else’s lifetimes.
Was rooting for the Vipers cause the Bucs suck so bad…Murray ruined my hopes. He sucks out loud.
Lol…yes it is pretty tough that there’s not many better who are available for the XFL. The low QB playing level is probably the league’s biggest performance enemy.
Truth. But with several big name coaches on the sidelines, if the league can scrape by financially in the early going, ya gotta believe the level of QB play will improve dramatically.
Tim’s running out of time do anything at all in pro sports. The XFL just might be the path that would let him go out with a bang and not a whimper. It’s better than AA BB and MLB ain’t gonna happen. Sorry Tim but that major league curve ball is a byatch, and none of us is getting any younger.
I agree with this. But he has a pretty nice gig with sec nation and a the charities he runs
No doubt. I’ll sit at the table next to Laura Rutledge any day. And get paid for too, what a gig Timmy has.
I don’t see Tebow going to the XFL. He can make more money doing what he’s doing now.
You have to be able to read defenses in the XFL too so that’s probably a big no.
