Tim Tebow admits he had a 'couple of conversations' with the people at the XFL -- but ultimately turned down Vince McMahon's new football league to continue his baseball career.

But, the 32-year-old former Heisman Trophy winner says it's not the right move for him because he's laser-focused on making the NY Mets major league roster.-- where he's been trying to earn a spot as a power-hitting outfielder.

There's no bad blood between Tebow and the XFL -- in fact, it's the opposite. Tim showered the league with praise while explaining his decision to stick with baseball."I think there needs to be a place for a lot of players that are really good, and should and could be playing in the NFL, and are better than a lot of NFL players. There's a chance they're going to be seen."

"So, I think it's awesome, and I think it's good for a lot of guys that are going to get a spot on an NFL roster because they're going to show a team they're worth it. But, for me, this is what I wanted to do and pursue it, and be all in."

Smart man...

Wow c'est CodJordan23

He’s washed up. No chance.

Meh, he should have stuck with modeling and left the anthletics to pee wees.

Me knowing nothing about sports: XFL sounds like a naughty football league I’d pay to see. 😉

He commuted to the Mets. And if there's one think we know about TimTebow , it's that he's a man of his word.

Turned down the XFL to play in spring training and a few AAA games.... strong move

He really is the opposite of Elway

Turned down an XFL first ballot hof for the Mets smh
