Tim Tebow Rumors: Bill Belichick Declines To Say Whether He'll Have Tebow Strictly Play QB, Could Move To Tight End Or Fullback Be In The Works?

When New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick addressed the media for the first time at training camp on Thursday, there were endless questions about Aaron Hernandez, and not a single question about Tim Tebow. However, on Friday the questions found their way back to focus around Tebow.

Belichick was asked whether the Patriots see Tebow as strictly being used as a quarterback, or whether they might want to use him in other positions as well. Belichick declined to answer.

"I think we'll use Tim where ever we feel like is best for the team," Belichick said. "I know that's what he's committed to doing as well, whatever that is."

But when asked about Tebow's practice habits, Belichick said he likes what he sees.

"He's got a great work ethic - great," Belichick said.

It was previously reported that the Patriots were more interested in utilizing Tebow as the third-string quarterback, which is something former Heisman Trophy winner and Carolina Panthers quarterback Chris Weinke, will be very pleased with.

"Do I think he can play the quarterback position in the NFL? Yeah, no question,'' Weinke told USA TODAY Sports Monday. "Like I told Tim when I found out (Monday) that he signed, 'You're locked and loaded, ready to go.''

Weinke added:

"Tim's about as competitive a guy as you're ever going to be around,'' Weinke said. "Tim didn't spend any time talking about the Jets releasing him. But at the end of the day, he's been humbled and he's hungry.

"That's good. He'll go up to New England. And they'll be pleased with the way he's throwing the football."
