I think you are overanalyzing it. There is a HUGE leap to professional sports. You think Tebow didn't have a "professional" approach?

But Tebow wasn't that dominating in college simply because of the scheme, and his size is certainly not an issue. He had minor flaws that even with tons and tons of work could not be corrected. There is that little margin to compete in the NFL because the talent is so much greater than even at the highest levels of CFB.
Tebow flat out dominated college football players, and was a mediocre to failing in the NFL despite working as hard as Jerry Rice. Much of the failure in the NFL is a product of Owners and GMs getting infatuated with college stats.
Your point is really only relevant to the true flame outs like Russell and Leaf
