Read any scouting report on him coming out of college and you will see it's believed that he is a naturally gifted athlete. His core strength, anchor and hands were consistent worries but it was generally believed that with work, he could be a solid T in the NFL.
Being a great athlete is the singular most overrated quality an offensive linemen can be labeled with.
It's just not that important. Can it help? sure.
But only if you have the other tools to make it work.
And seriously go watch his tape at TAMU, I still don't see what about it is first round OT. He never dominates a game.
It's school hype (Matthews and Joeckel right before him) and bizarre fascination with measurables and athleticism on the OL.
