Well, I don't know for sure and no one does. If you would have asked those questions instead of using Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt as examples as to why he can't you probably would have gotten a real answer.
To answer your question, maybe he could get off the line, maybe he can't. If he is lining up against a cornerback, I'd have to think that he could use his size and strength to get even an average amount of separation at the line. He is 6'9 260 and still has pretty decent quickness and agility. Tell me a defensive back in the NFL that would consistently be able to keep him from getting off the LOS. As far as reading a defense, he isn't the quarterback. I understand that some really good receivers are good at finding holes in zones etc, but not necessarily every WR or TE does. Its mostly beating the man covering you and getting to the ball, which again, he's 6'9 with pretty good explosiveness off the ground. I don't think he could suit up this weekend and be Calvin Johnson or anything, but you are being a blind hater if you don't think he could be at least productive if he were to go through with it.
