Wasn't that the speculation when New England signed him? That he'd finally agreed to play a position other than QB since his skills in that area are lacking? I believe tight end was mentioned on several occasions. Well it looks like that experiment is over.
It appears that was more wishful thinking than anything Belichick was seriously considering.
Tebow is obviously athletic and might able to play a position like fullback or tight end. But the time to figure out if that is correct is before one is in the NFL, not after.
That was some people’s speculation, but it was silly because they had 5 TEs when they signed and it was never confirmed by anybody remotely attached to the team. Yeah now they’re down to 3 until Gronk comes back, but that’s still 3 which is a pretty typical number to have signed. If TE had anything to do with his signing it was his old favorite target in college TE Antonio Hernandez, who is now in jail indicted for 1st degree murder, so that reunion tour is canceled.
Before Hernandez got arrested there were seven experienced TEs on New England’s roster. Anyone who thought Tebow had a legitimate shot as a TE, let alone QB, should be drug tested.
