With his build,Tebow would’ve worked well as a TE and if necessary, an emergency QB.

Everyone thinks that just because a guy has good size and is thick and somewhat more athletic than a tackle or a fullback, that they would be a “great TE” in the pros.

Got news, it takes way the hell more than that, there are hundreds of big, fast, strong, athletic 6-7, 270lb guys but only a few Gronks who can actually be great TEs—and that includes blocking like tackles and guards, catching like WRs, running like big bulls, and lasting a whole season without getting beat to shit.

Tebow is not big enough, not quick enough, knows nothing about blocking or truly delivering a blow on LBs and safeties, and he proved he has no hands.

Tells you how steep the pyramid gets in the pros, when hundreds of guys like Tebow—and many much better than him—can’t make an NFL team, even a bad one.
