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 know if this will make sense or not, but those without some natural talent isn't going to put the enormous amount of effort for years to just barely survive as a journeyman. It takes money to be able to move to a different country to play. The type of journeyman your talking about has to be good enough to make the paycheck viable and they have talent. The guys filling out the roster for £/€ 20,000 isn't going to be able to up and move to a new country every couple years.
