Having drops and giving up on plays are two entirely different things in terms of ability. Dropping the ball is getting where you are supposed to be, going all out to make the catch, and some factor intervenes to prevent it. The only factor that intervenes when you give up on a play is your desire. And that desire is also a factor in making contested catches. You know those other guys were really good at going up and taking the ball....the desire that it was theirs whether they were covered or not. That seems to be the only thing keeping AJ from being considered elite. Once he finds that, he will be unstoppable.
