The name Tim Tebow carries with it a whirlwind of emotions. While some remember him for his playoff heroics as a member of the Denver Broncos in 2011, others view him as an unconventional quarterback who could never be a long-term option for an NFL team.

Tebow has spent the last few years serving as a college-football analyst for ESPN, but he surprised sports fans around the country with an out-of-nowhere announcement Tuesday.

Some may have thought this was some sort of joke, but this is a real thing that is actually happening. Not surprisingly, it didn’t take long for Tebow to get a job offer.

Tebow is not going to take a job with a Frontier League team, but the offer is sure to be just the start of more Tebow Mania leading up to his tryout, which may or may not be well attended.

The talk of Tebow pursuing a career in baseball got us thinking: What other sports might the former Heisman-winner try to break into?

With the Olympics as our chief inspiration, let’s take a look at five other sports Tim Tebow could pursue if the baseball thing doesn’t work out. (The baseball thing will not work out.)
