So there isn't much room for kids who are pure athletes but aren't technically sound at their position? I'll buy that. However I still think in college there is a gradient to the positions as to which ones require more technical skill vs others to be great.

At kick/punt returner maybe. See Korliss Marshall, Dominique Reed, Joe Adams, etc.. Nowhere else though.

I definitely wouldn't say Alex Collins had to rely on his athleticism to be a great RB. The combine showed us how little athleticism he actually has.


Ignoring special teams, I'd rank them like this.

DE
OLB
DT
ILB
DB
RB
OT
WR





OG/C




QB

If anything, maybe Nose gaurd. They normally just plug holes
