Could Tim Tebow have been like Taysom Hill?

Strong guy, good speed, tough.

I feel like everything Hill is doing, Tebow could have done. But, Tebow had this QB or bust mentality, so his ego wouldn't let him do it.

But I think Tebow had all the skills to be that kind of player.

Tebow is no where near as fast as Hill.

Yah he probably still could do it TBH but he likely makes more from just being Tebow - plus he gets to chase his baseball dream.

Tebow obviously wouldn't play the STs role Hill does

Taking brees out of the play for Hill will never make sense to me

Taysom Hill 40 at pro day: 4.44
Tim Tebow 40 at combine: 4.71

Although Tebow was bigger/stronger, Hill's speed allows him to do more

Taysom probably still throws a better ball than Tebow.

Hill has far, far better acceleration and top end speed than Tebow ever did. Go back and watch the 2013 Texas at BYU game when Hill was sprinting away from Texas defenders in the open field.

Did Tebow want to be a Special Teams players and gimmick play specialist? I thought he wanted to be primarily a QB
/starter like he was in Denver.

Tebow wasn’t willing to put the work in to be a contributor in other ways like Taysom has. Not a team player

Tebow is too big and slow. He would be more like an athletic FB, Hill is more like a bigger version of Vick. Tebow had success in college because he could run over people.

Tebow isn’t blocking any punts

I say yes, Tebow could have been a similar player with different running style. Obviously more of a power runner than speed. Talent wasn't the issue with him, he certainly had the talent to be on a roster. It was the media circus that nobody wanted to touch. Everybody calling for him to start at QB, media constantly asking about the 3rd string QB would be a coach's worst nightmare.

Tebow could have made a damn good TE. Unless he can't catch
