With the way Tebow could run the ball near the goal line, someone could have spent a couple of afternoons teaching him to catch the short pass and you could have a heck of a Tight End.

I think you would find a lot of tight ends who would say it's not a position you could learn in a couple of afternoons.

But even if he tried Tebow would be competing against men who had played the position for years. You really think he could beat them out for a spot?

I said he could probably learn to catch short passes in a few afternoons. I was somewhat joking, but I don't think that catching passes would be the hardest things to learn. The intensity and mechanics of blocking would probably take more time, but a tight end isn't key on every play in the same way a quarterback is, so there would be a lot of leeway in slowly moving him into an offensive scheme. He wouldn't need to play every down immediately.

But even if he tried Tebow would be competing against men who had played the position for years.

I think he has enough natural ability for it to at least be worth a shot.

And while I'm not comparing him with all pros directly, there are examples of this all of the time. Richard Sherman was a receiver at Stanford and made All Pro corner in his second year in the pros. Witten also was a defensive end at Tennessee until his junior year when they moved him to tight end.

He won't be Tony G overnight of course, but he's got 10x more chance at becoming an effective tight end than a franchise quarterback.
