"In college all you need is above average guys that are experienced and play together as a cohesive unit/ do their jobs and pick up their assignments"
So now you explain how/why the same qualities that you espouse as "all you need" in college don't equate to
'all you need" in the NFL. Your statement is basically a stupid one, regardless of the level it's played.

Because that's not "all you need" in the NFL. You also need to be a physically superior athlete. That's why you see tons of guys who are great college players that don't pan out in the pros. They either have one or the other.

This really isn't that hard to understand.

I can't believe I'm gonna side with the Auburn guy, but very few offensive linemen from college go pro.
And it's obvious some players peak in college, do not have the frame to grow taller, become stronger and quick enough to block NFL defensive linemen.

The 2010 Auburn offensive line is a good example.
