Thankful for the highs and even the lows, the opportunities, and the setbacks. I’ve never wanted to make decisions out of fear of failure and I’m grateful for the chance to have pursued a dream…

Tebow, 34, attempted to return to the NFL in 2021 after spending much of the last five years playing baseball in the Mets’ farm system. He attempted to join the Jaguars as a tight end, where he struggled with blocking in his first preseason contest.
