Everyone knows that there is a gap between talent and production. Some bridge that gap.
I always said that Irving had the raw talent to leave early for the NFL. Well, he left early. And he wound up in the NFL. So...I was right?
Reggie Hayward was a good player at ISU, but nothing like what he did the NFL. And Jason Berryman had some terrific production at ISU, and did nothing in the NFL.
Irving at ISU was like a high schooler who's talented but doesn't really have a great fit for a position.
With some NFL coaching and time to fill out he looked night and day when with the Cowboys.
