Nolan Cromwell was an All-American quarterback at KU and an All-Pro safety for the Los Angeles Rams. He was a very athletic quarterback with limited passing ability, as KU ran the Wishbone offense. He wasn't considered a pro prospect at quarterback, so he converted to free safety prior to the draft. He did play safety at KU as a sophomore, so it's not exactly the same situation. But he was exclusively a quarterback for his junior and senior seasons. It can be done.
I believe Tebow would have at least made an attempt to play another position if he really wanted to play football. He could have been a real difference maker at tight end for the Patriots this year.
