His throwing motion resulted in a release time too slow for the NFL, as far as starting QBs are concerned, but he could have been an excellent Half Back who COULD throw, or run, as the play warranted. Unfortunately, from what I read at the time, he refused to take a position other than QB, and when he played for the Jets, that lousy coach limited his play to almost nothing, and could have used him a lot more, but I think that coach was probably anti-Christian. It's too bad Tebow's apparent ego wouldn't let him consent to taking an offer to play on a team as a HB. I never heard him explain in later years if he regretted that attitude toward his potential play in the NFL.
