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.

The suggestion that a team should pick up Tebow as a tight end or a fullback or some other position has always puzzled me too. The idea that he could come in and beat out people who have been playing the position for years in high school and college doesn't make any sense at all.

Absolutely true. Paraphrasing an old saying, the NFL is lousy with talent!
