Not sure why people think, just because he's a good athlete, that a player can just choose to change positions.
Think about it for a minute - Let's say you think he could be a tight end - This year each NFL team has about 3 tight ends on the roster - that's less than 100 players total. That's 100 players in the WORLD who have the skill to be a tight end at the highest level. To say that a player who has never played the position could just switch and make a roster is a slap in the face to the hundreds of other players who couldn't make a team at tight end and were cut. You're saying that Tebow could just step right in and make a team over those players who played the position for 3-4 years in college?
I don't think it's as easy as some people make it out to be. Yes he maybe has a chance but he'd need to get a private coach and work on the skills it takes to undertake that challenge.
The world is littered with great athletes who just can't compete in that top 1/10 of 1% who make a team in the NFL.
Yes anything is possible, but not likely.
