Crazy to think how fast some guys just tail off- injuries, attitude, whatever the case may be. Staying power is the difference between the briefly good and the sustained good to great.

That entire Jets Defensive Line. In 2013 they had Sheldon Richardson, Snacks Harrison and Muhammed Wilkerson. They all had the makings of All-Pros and were all under the age of 25. I don't think any of them made it to their 2nd contacts with the Jets.
And coaches the NFL is year to year. I think a lot of players and coaches miss this. The ones who had success immediately may stop working, ones that have endured much failure may limit themselves.
Each year (off-season, pre-season, regular season, post season) is your head to prove what type of player or coach you are. Last year, good or not so good, was last year.
The league has a hand in deciding a players ceiling. The league is always after your weakness and will exploit it until you prove otherwise. Then, they will move on to your next area of weak points so on and so forth. The great players and coaches in the league aren't spending their time shining their most polished skill, they are looking for the dull areas of their game that the opposition is focusing on.

had 64 total tackles; 5 tackles for losses; 10 QB hits; and 4.5 sacks.
Not a superstar season, but not too shabby for a DT!
