It shouldn't really be a surprise to anyone with the sheer physical traits required to play in the NFL these days. The height and build of a player are sometimes more important than their raw talent.
We've reached such a weird genetic requirement to play at the NFL level that we're obviously going to have a lot of mediocrity mixed in with actual elite players.
It's why elite players even exist. There's plenty of people with raw talent, but maybe 5% of them hit the genetic thresholds required to ever play at the NFL level. When those guys actually get found, they're special.
So yeah, it doesn't surprise me at all why there's a lot of straight-up bad (mediocre is just being nice) players in the NFL these days.
