Yes, some of those things can be "taught", but the learning curve isn't the same for all.  So before I put much stock in "The combined average 40 time of receivers" without pads, right out of college being the litmus test that Rob Demovsky (author of article) seems to think it is, I'm going to have to figure out a way to explain the skill sets of those talented WR's in the history of the NFL that didn't have blazing speed.</p></blockquote><p></p>
