Do you think there are SOME pro football players out there who may not have natural talent and rely solely on hard work/relentless work ethic? (alien.top)

I'm not saying they are 100% nothing in regards to genetics or something, but do you think there may be players out there who have had to work harder since they may not have had those natural skills as football players? Genetics maybe due to height or speed or other things but what do you think?

My guess is most journeymen who hop from League to league in Asian, African or Latin American countries may have to rely on work ethic as much as natural talent/gifts?

I don’t think there are any athletes with any semblance of continued success that have achieved what they have without an exceptional work ethic.

There are many talented athletes who experience little to no success because they lack work ethic.

I think your question could be better framed in the reverse: are there SOME pro football players out there who may not have relentless work ethic and rely solely on natural talent?

I get it but I'm just wondering because a lot of people say almost every athlete who makes it pro was born with it, so I just wanted to as if there are A VERY SMALL minority of athletes who make it professionally without a natural or generic gift and rely solely on their work ethic
