Tim Tebow was once considered the “man” and best player in college football. His four seasons at the University of Florida will go down in history. Not only did he win the illustrious Heisman Trophy Award in 2007, he was also a two time national champion at UF in 2006 and 2008.
After a slow start to his NFL career, Tebow was able to find success during his second season. During the 2011 season, Tebow took over the starting quarterback job for an inept Kyle Orton in week five and led the Denver Broncos to a 7-4 regular season record as a full time starter. Tebow also led the Broncos to a wildcard victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Though with Tebow being unable to find a stable job after the 2011 season, he has taken to other pursuits, including broadcasting. Now Tebow is now looking towards getting back on the field. Though this time it’s a baseball field, as he plans to pursue a career in the MLB.
As you can imagine, Twitter is all over Tebow’s pursuit of a MLB career. Here are some of the best tweets mocking Tim Tebow pursuing a MLB career.
Welp, if nothing else this endeavor will finally answer the question: Which would be lower, Tim Tebow's comp % or batting avg.
