I think next to QB, the position where the NFL game is most different from the college game is linebacker. I think that's why you see so many great college linebackers fail to make it in the NFL. Manti Teo is another, Reuben Foster, Rolando McClain....but there are literally hundreds. I think in most instances it's because they can't cover. If you can't cover, you can't play linebacker in the NFL.
