9 things Tim Tebow should be doing instead of baseball

According to experts on the game of baseball, Tim Tebow wasn’t a future Hall of Famer during his workout on Tuesday.

One scout told USA TODAY Sports that “it was like watching an actor trying to portray a baseball player,” while another called his tryout “better than I expected.”

So while a franchise might sign Tebow just to see if he can get a bat on a ball against live, in-game pitching, we here at For The Win think the former quarterback should just put aside his baseball dreams and try something he’s good at.

And there are quite a few jobs he’d excel at! Here’s a list:

1. Politician

This is the most obvious one of them all. We’ve been talking about the hypothetical possibility of Florida Congressman Tebow for years. But it’s a perfect fit, combining his abilities as a leader, speaker and the way he could work a crowd.

2. Speechwriter

If he doesn’t want to go into politics as a candidate, fine. But someone would benefit from his prowess in front of cameras. Remember this uber-famous statement to the press in 2008 after a loss to Ole Miss? Tell me this guy wouldn’t make for an incredibly good speechwriter.

3. Model

I’m just going to leave this photo here.

4. Personal trainer

See above.

5. TV personality

He’s done it already, both for Good Morning America and SEC Nation. And you know what? He wasn’t bad! Give him a half-hour slot for Tim Tebow Presents: People Around the World Doing Nice Things. It’ll be great.

6. Religious leader

Also obvious.

7. NFL H-Back

According to former Tampa Bay Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominik, this almost happened.

Please, Tim: Go back to football. It’s okay if you’re not a quarterback. Try working as an H-Back. You’ll be good at it.

8. NFL Fullback

Or this! Blocking can be fun, too.

9. NFL Tight End

Please. I beg of you. Just do it.
