Tim Tebow’s baseball skills were on full display Tuesday.
The former NFL quarterback held a workout in front of 42 scouts representing 27 teams in hopes of landing a job in professional baseball. Tebow, who hasn’t played competitive baseball since high school, underwent a series of drills at the plate and in the field.
Here’s a look at how the Heisman Trophy winner fared on his big day:

Tebow's 60-yard dash time: 6.6 seconds at 255 pounds. Jeter and Bryce Harper have been timed at 6.6. Pretty fast for that size.
