Man #1: Hey "insert name here", did you here about the Hernandez thing?
Man#2: Yeah dude, sh** crazy.
Man #1: Belichick, you know, he might have something up his sleeve with the Tebow thing.
Man #2: (laughs, then nods). I know. Maybe he knew about the Hernandez situation way before hand?
Man #1: Exactly. Then he signs Tebow a few weeks before this whole situation breaks out, just to get a potential new tight end.
Man #2: Hey man, "in Bill we trust".
I might have paraphrased a little bit, but this was basically the jist of the conversation. It sounds a little far-fetched, but then again, you never know...
On a side note, could Tebow actually play tight end? We know that he is big and fast, but can he run routes and catch the ball? Tebow ran a 4.7 at the combine, so I definitely think that he is athletic enough. He's also a well built QB at 6'3'' and 236 pds. Physically speaking, I think he could play well at the tight end position.
But a bigger question revolves around his football IQ and hands. Can he catch the ball consistently? Is he smart enough to run the complex routes in the New England system? For the "hands" question, I believe Tebow can become a solid receiver. He's an athlete and football player. There is no reason to believe that he can't develop solid hands if he practices. In terms of football IQ, there are some conflicting reports. While some people suggest that Tebow is a very smart player, others claim that he was a bonehead and didn't know many plays while he was with the Jets. I tend to believe that Tebow is a very smart player and will easily master the routes. Besides, if Gronk can do it, anyone can.
