YES, there are some CB's/QB's/RB's that come into the league and play well immediately, that goes without saying. But DLine is the most unappreciated positions to NFL fans. They do NOT get the credit they deserve. It takes talent, technique, power, agility, and intelligence to play DT and DE's.
Why would an offensive line even worry about double teaming our End's. It's like holding a midget at arm's length. One man at DT is not going to stop several other 300+ lb men. It is a team effort in the trenches, more so than at ANY other point on the field, both offensively and defensively.
Comparing Dorsey in college vs. NFL is also apples to oranges. The men across the line of scrimmage in college are probably working at an car dealership right now. The men he faces now are talented, have their technique down to a science, have NFL caliber coaching, are in peak physical condition, and the invaluable asset of experience vs. those simliar in physical ability.
Dorsey is a 24 yr old rookie, playing one of the most physically demanding sports, who is still developing his technique and honing his skillset. And so far, in his rookie year, has outperformed DT greats.
