When it was reported that former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow would be pursuing a career in professional baseball, there was bound to be doubters.
Baltimore Orioles center-fielder Adam Jones, a five-time MLB All-Star, is one of them. He sent out this tweet on Tuesday, which seems to mock Tebow for thinking he can just jump right into a pro baseball career.
After this @MLB season I’m going try out for the @NFL this offseason. I haven’t played since HS but I’ve played in a few TurkeyBowls since!!

Tebow has not played organized baseball since 2005 when he was an All-State player at Nease High School in Florida. But according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the former first-round pick of the Denver Broncos has been training in Arizona and Los Angeles to hone his hitting and fielding skills.
Tebow will hold a workout for all 30 MLB teams at the end of the month, hoping to get at least one ballclub to give him a shot.
