If you look at backs that were used heavily in college, almost none of them made an immediate impact:
Ron Dayne, Cedric Benson, Mike Hart, Kevin Smith. All of those guys got tons of touches, and even the ones that turned it around later in their careers, like Benson and Williams, were still monumental disappointments out of the gate.

As a counter-argument to this, I don't think I've ever seen a college RB run with more tenacity than AP, so he created a lot of (for lack of a better term) high-stress touches for himself, and he was obviously an ass-kicker from the jump.
