Because NFL defenses are significantly more talented than any college defense. By sheer on field talent, it's a totally different game. If Alabama could have the second best Saban Era player at every position on defense, every year, there isn't an offense in cfb that runs through them. There is no mayden or savion smith or slow depriest or first year cyrus jones in modern NFL defense barring catastrophic injuries
The vast majority of NFL players were, if not the best, one of the best players on their college teams. People never seem to understand this.

The talent gap closes in the NFL between offense and defense also. Your 3rd best DB in college is often a once highschool wideout/runningback who had "bad hands". In the NFL, that player may be the same, but he is the best one of those culled from years of drafts. going from the 1% of all athletes to the .01%.
Meanwhile Amari Cooper is still cooper, Julio is still Julio. Those players may get better, but the advantage they carried in college is not nearly as pronounced.
