You don't think he could have converted to a decent, Charles Clay type of TE?
He's slow and undersized for a TE.
He's never run routes.
He's never caught passes.
He's never blocked.
What in the name of God would make someone think that he could be a good TE?

I think he's athletic enough to learn those things. We're not talking about rocket science. We're talking about running and catching a ball or taking a handoff. If you think otherwise, fine. But to call it "fricking stupid" is a bit much.
Also, he's the same size and just as fast as Clay. Is he undersized compared to some TEs? Sure. Is he slow compared to some TEs? Sure. Does that mean he can't make it as a TE? No. Other TEs with the same dimensions and athletic abilities have done it already. Clay was 7th in receptions and 9th in yards for TEs, not to mention the goalline work he did. You should be shocked that such a slow and undersized TE did so well in the NFL last year.
You seem to be taking the question to mean "is he the next Vernon Davis or Julius Thomas?" That's not the question.
