Tebow hasn't given any thought to joining XFL
Vince McMahon's pitch to Tim Tebow did not appear to get the former Heisman Trophy winner's attention.
Despite McMahon mentioning Tebow by name during his introductory press conference for the XFL, the quarterback-turned-baseball player has not considered joining the upstart league that aims to begin by 2020.
"To be honest, I really haven’t given it any thought," Tebow told Andrew Astleford of SEC Country on Wednesday. "I’ve got too many important things going on, and I’m getting ready for spring training in slightly over a week."
"Honestly, it’s the beginning of 2018. And they’re talking about that in 2020. I’ve got a lot of life in front of me before that even happens. So I'm not even going to worry about it."
Tebow was one of nine minor leaguers in the New York Mets system to be invited to train with the major-league players. He has not played football since a stint in the Philadelphia Eagles' training camp in 2015.
