Football players, amongst other athletes far far too often fall into riding cliches into the dirt during interviews. When one is well spoken and legitimately intelligent it is a surprise.  They are among the top few percentile in terms of athletic ability, to then also be in a high percentile intelligently really puts them in rarefied air. 

Intelligence isn't what is stopping Lankford from becoming a premier receiver, nor is it his speed. He presented well in an early-season interview and sounded humble and grateful but I'm not sure has that competitive hunger and drive to be a Milt Stegall.

  • Was never a doubt in my mind as I watched that game that Winnipeg would win. Was closer on the scoreboard than the field. Medlock was replaced by a doppelganger or they run away early. I would also pe

    I thought Maas was relatively calm this game. The only thing I thought was he looked like he was gonna cry after randle broke up that 3rd down pass to seal the game. I seen a few teary eyes in my day,

lots of success in his career.

Yeah. Iirc he was a disciple of coach harris. I tend to look long and hard at talent then scheme. A positional coach may hinder a players progression if they arent good or the two have a bad clash personality wise. But I dont think thatd be the fault for inconsistency in performance. richie hall probably also looks like he has had tons of success.

Cant say whats lacking with out knowing inside stuff. Football smarts are very different from being well spoken. Preparation is a big difference maker for a lot of top athletes.  Bruce arians in his book talked a great deal about that when it came to peyton manning and andrew luck. And the difference between manning and ryan leaf. I think that is a huge factor. The best stars are allways hungry to improve, be better and do better. They grind day in and day out, be it on the field in meetings or doing film study. 

Milt also had next level athletic endurance. Football focuses soo much on explosive guys a lot of guys run a lot slower in the 4th then the first. milt ran at a high speed every snap.
