Tim Tebow remains a minor league baseball player in the New York Mets organization, but he had an opportunity to return to football in the XFL.

The former NFL quarterback said Sunday there was "some communication" between him and the XFL, but he turned it down:

"We had a couple of conversations. ... But for me, this is what I wanted to do and pursue it and be all-in."

Tebow last appeared in an NFL game in 2012 and has spent the past four years working on his baseball career.
