Ok. I can't argue to unsupported claims of what "most experts" will tell you.
What I've read and seen suggests that WRs are the slowest non-QB developers. The need to understand route adjustments and be on the same page as the QB etc. and be in the right place at the right time -- it's almost impossible to get it right right away.
Most early successful DL have an easy job -- go kill the QB any way you can. Hence the Suggs and Freeneys having decent success even as rookies. There's no "just run up and out every time" for a WR.
