This is the exact reason some NFL teams like the smaller school players. 5 stars without the right hunger for the game is a recipe for disaster. Malachi and many other 4,5 stars don’t live up to potential bc they have been courted for 3-4 years of high school and feel entitled to being good without the work as the competition stiffens.

Never thought Malachi was that good from the get go, didn't high point the ball, didn't catch ball in traffic on a consistent basis, so-so hands and didn't play with an all out attitude. He was 6'4" and played like he was 5'8". He was a product of the system he played in in high school, they ran so much, when they threw to dupre he was wide open and didn't have to high point alot of balls or catch alot of balls in traffic and never "adjusted or stepped up his game".

A lot of kids are really good players without great measurable and end up at smaller schools. Lo and behold, a later growth spurt than normal produces a kid with all the intangibles that made him a great player, and now he has the measurables.
