Xavier Lee at FSU. Guy was physically perfect, 5 star, 6'4 225, could run, was elusive in the pocket, and may literally have had the strongest arm I've ever seen. He was also very intelligent so we couldn't just say it was because he had a 7 wonderlic score. He just never cared and didn't try. Even in interviews his responses would be to just shrug and say "I don't know". There was one game in 2007 I think when he put it all together against Maryland, and he looked like a #1 overall pick for that one game. I don't even know what became of him without looking it up
Just looked it up. He bounced indoor leagues till 2015 as a WR/TE and occcasional backup QB.

Jadeveon Clowney. He’s had some good moments, but has taken most of his plays off.

These stories of wasted talent are probably a dime a dozen at Rucker Park NYC

The reality is some people who may be blessed with talent simply aren’t as driven to be the best as others are. Is what it is.
