(DEADLINE HOLLYWOOD) — Tim Tebow, the once-polarizing quarterback-turned-broadcaster-turned-baseball player has signed a multiyear contract extension at ESPN.
Tebow last year signed a minor league baseball contract with the New York Mets and currently plays with the Columbia Fireflies. ESPN said his role will “not preclude him from continuing to pursue professional baseball opportunities.”
The University of Florida alum joined the Worldwide Leader in 2013 after his NFL career petered out. Tebow, who was a first-round draft pick of the Denver Broncos in 2010, was a media sensation earlier this decade, with his string of comeback wins during his rookie year and on-field displays of devout religious faith.
