You are so hilariously wrong. They've done studies; guys who struggle to catch in college rarely improve significantly in the Pro's.
Julio Jones isn't a freaking example. Julio Jones was an uber-freak who was so freakishly gifted naturally that he'd tend to lose focus in games because the game was literally EASY for him. There is a big difference between a guy like that, and a guy who legitimately struggles to track the ball in the air. What the hell is Coates going to do in one offseason that is magically doing to have him tracking every ball ball thrown his way? If the coaches had an answer this wouldn't be a problem. Some guys just have a natural ability to sense where they are in relation to the football at all times.
Terrell Owens is a HOF receiver and he was among the league leader in drops for virtually his entire career. If its a learned trait, why the frick didn't he improve? Owens was an extremely hard worker, shown by his physique and production well into his mid and late 30's.
Catching a football is something you "learn" in freaking pee-wee football. A 5th year player at an elite program in the SEC isn't learning how to catch a football.

You have a short term mental problem apparently. At bama, he might catch it if it hit him in the hands, he might not. Save the so gifted he lost focus bullshite. It's called "soft hands" and it is a learned technique.

They left Sammie out of the 'notable 40 times' on the ticker tape announcement but included a guy who ran slower than him

It's okay if someone disagrees with you
