1. accuracy, you either have NFL accuracy or you don't.
2. reading the defense/intelligence. Walking up to the line like Peyton did and being able to tell you what the defense was and where to attack before he had the ball snapped 99% of the time is a extremely rare gift that was developed thru years of film study. As much as I disliked him I respected his ability to do this.
3. being a good teammate/person. Players don't excel in the NFL without help from teammates whether it's a receiver that lays out to get the tuff throw or the guard who chips the guy next to him and so on. You don't get the last 5% of someone giving "110%" if you're an azzhole and that is the difference between good and elite or elite and great.
