re: NFL.com's Chad Reuter Mock Draft

Saying Barnett will never be a superstar is foolish

They have guys littered all throughout the league that were late round draft picks because of their limited athleticism that are now stars and tons of combine stars/workout warriors that turn out to be huge bust

Not saying that he will at all but he has plenty enough athleticism to be a star

So many things can't be measured by testing results. Someguys can just carry their pads

Some guys u can put em in underwear and they run twice as fast than with pads on

And some guys run almost as fast in full gear than without any on

And then you have football knowledge and the ability to diagnose an offense and break down whats happening without hesitation

And then some guys have football instincts and just know where to be

Than you have guys that have swagger/ killer instinct/ won't be denied mentality

Some guys have valuable leadership skills and the ability to rally the troops and raise up the whole team and get everyone going

And most importantly is work ethic. Will they train hard, play hard, never quit, not cash it in after big contracts, not take plays off, be relentless, etc.

The want/desire to win and be great cannot be understated. The love of the game and enjoying palying football and being a fierce competitor account for alot

Sone guys can wanna be the best but like u said their physical limitations will prevent that from ever happening

But some guys can be freak athletes and never have the will to succeed

But basically, there is alot more than running a fast 40 or jumping real high and far to being a great football player

And Barnett definitely has enough athleticism to be a great football player IF he has some of the other stuff
