    That’s the thing about talent. Talent is everywhere but it takes a special kind of person to rise to the occasion and actually be successful. You can have all the talent in the world but if you can’t live up to those expectations, you’re gonna end up just another name on an old roster no one remembers.

    • @splintercell320
      @splintercell320 Місяць тому +2

      For high school, all you need is athleticism. Scheme, coaching, play calling, supporting teammates, intangibles, technique, all don’t matter since you’re playing against kids who haven’t finished growing yet.
      In college, talent may have worked 20 years ago, but nowadays even power 5 conference teams have stud athletes. Strength and conditioning has made vast improvements across the board and previously kept secrets on how well to train players isn’t really a secret anymore, even non professional athletes can look up how to train effectively at the professional level. Being in the right scheme and coaching will be what separate good players to elite players. There’s a reason Alabama has the most NFL starters in the NFL. Saban and his staff were molding future NFL talent, not playing in a way that showcases players strengths and hides their weaknesses.
      The only caveat to projecting future talent is QB recently. If you said Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Patrick Mahomes would be the top 3 QBs in the NFL 10 years ago, you would have been laughed out of the room and never invited back again. You almost can’t predict QB.

    Peterson was a stud, but pump the brakes on saying he could have gone straight to the NFL. That’s a huge jump even for the super rare player like him. I once saw an interview with a guy who has evaluated high school players for 40 years and he said he only saw two guys who he thought could have done it; John Elway and Randy Moss.
