12. Some guys just take longer to develop

Some need to have a system adapted for them rather than adapt to an existing system.

Their coaches have to be really good teachers.

Those who are not as physically gifted as others need to have the right mindset and mental maturity and work ethic.

All need to have an excellent surrounding cast of characters -- receivers, running backs, pass protectors, plus a solid defense.

It's damn hard to put that together. All these guys are in the same league but they operate under dozens of different variables. In other words, the talent may be there -- it's just not able to surface.
