[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 965274, member: 7261"] Seems to be an issue for a lot of guys that are trying to make the jump from college to the NFL. I am guessing that playbooks aren't nearly as complicated at the college level, nor are prima donna players expected to do much, other than perform on the field. While I don't think it necessarily takes a high IQ to play in the NFL, I do think that it takes someone who puts in a ton of work both on and off the field. Bad habits are difficult to break and if a guy wasn't a complete player in college, the challenge to be good in the NFL becomes a lot more difficult. Seems like some of the most successful NFL players started with a story of "nobody gave them a chance to make it." versus "Everyone thought he was destined to be an NFL star." I look at both JJ and TJ Watt's stories. They came into Wisconsin as athletes that were a bit undersized, not overly talented, but great work ethics. You look at how fast they turned their bodies and minds into great players and the dedication of the job shows. I was a bit surprised to read that JJ was only a 2 Star recruit and TJ a 3, out of High School. Both being viewed as TE's at the college level. [/QUOTE]
