New York Mets: XFL commish ‘informally gauged’ Tim Tebow’s interest

Tim Tebow hasn’t thrown a pass in an NFL-sanctioned event since 2015. Since then, he has been a mainstay in the New York Mets’ minor league system. That apparently hasn’t stopped the powers that be at the reborn XFL from discussing a return to the gridiron.

Sports Illustrated’s exposé on XFL commissioner Oliver Luck revealed that Tebow was briefly consulted about reverting to quarterbacking. The article, written by Dan Greene, briefly documents Luck’s meeting with Tebow at January’s College Football Playoff National Championship Game. According to Greene, Luck mentioned the possibility of partaking in the rebooted spring league.
