So it's concluded that it takes two to three years for rookies to develop

That's an awfully short window to make that kind of conclusion. Even if you want to stick to the suspiciously short 3 year window, this is almost certainly not everyone, but I am not going to be super thorough....
Michael Onwenu: 84.3
Trey Smith: 72.4
Damien Lewis: 70.2
Elgton Jenkins: 69.2
Quinn Meinerz: 67.4
Alijah Vera-Tucker: 66.8
Ezra Cleveland: 66.2

And of course Quenton Nelson with a 79.7 was just one year before this 3 year window.

Hell, going back a decent bit further but staying with the last 10 years, and being nowhere near thorough, here's some big names... 
Zack Martin: 86.4
Larry Warford: 84.9
Joel Bitonio: 79.3
Ali Marpet: 75.8
Kevin Zeitler: 75.2
Brandon Scherff:74.6
Kyle Long: 70.4
