If that's the case, why are there so many draft failures? Why is it that so many guys in the NFL fail to improve?

No, it goes much deeper. If you think that a 21 year old kid is going to listen to a 30 year-old vet, I think you're sadly mistaken. Individual talent and determination wins out, every time. It's not up to a "Vet" to "teach" a younger player how to play football or prepare. I mean, come on! These guys have been playing football for more than a decade in most cases (and often times, much longer than that).

If guys learned by "watching and listening", why did Dwayne Bowe have 13 drops last year? Are you implying that he didn't "watch and listen" to Gonzalez enough?
