Tebow might make a good fullback in the mold of Mike Alstott. Well, probably not that good. Enthusiast Apr 2015 #9

The only way I would ever sign Tebow to an NFL team is if he'd agree to change positions. The first place I'd try him is at safety - he's the same size as Kam Chancellor.

Tebow, it is my understanding, is a read option QB and is limited in how far that could carry a team using such an offense and also one must consider the physical toll it would take on Tebow.

At the pro level he'd be better at some other position...if he wanted to play offense he could be a good running back or tight end. The problem, tho, is he believes he has the divine right to play quarterback.

or receiving threat at FB.

He won't change positions though. He's adamant about playing QB only.

It's cute though, that he and Sanchez are reunited. lol

At the levels where he was so good - high school and college - the quarterback is almost always the only player whose name anyone knows. The pros are a different story: there are many famous non-quarterbacks in the NFL.
