Like a growing number of NFL players, Jets quarterback/personal punt protector Tim Tebow has decided to spend his non-football time engaged in MMA training. Unlike many of the players who engage in MMA training, Tebow hasn’t engaged the services of FOX’s Jay Glazer.

According to TMZ, Tebow is working out with the “legendary” Gracie family (who are so “legendary” that I hadn’t previously heard of them).

The extent of Tebow’s MMA training isn’t known. And it’s also not completely known whether it’s effective, especially for a quarterback.

After all, Matt Leinart once did it.
