How come he never has issues while at Alabama with vision as soon as he gets to Cleveland he goes blind?

A variety of factors. I think one of the most common, especially with players coming out of Alabama, is the lack of a regimented schedule. As a player you are tightly controlled by the coaching staff in Tuscaloosa. Once you turn pro you are expected to do all of that stuff yourself. There are moments where a player forgets he's a paid professional and simply spends his time spending his new found millions on bling, girls, and cars.
