Getting to understand all of the subtle nuances involved with adjusting routes according to what a defense is doing is tough enough for gifted athletes who have been playing football their entire lives, let alone for a guy who's still relatively new to the game.
Perhaps it's because of that Princeton brain that he's been able catch on as well as he has? In my lifetime I've seen a few Olympic sprinters fail to convert to WR in the NFL. Yoshi might never be great, but I admire him for giving it his best shot.

Quote:By most people’s standards, he got an early start in sports with his first taste of football at the tender age of 5 – flag football, that is. “Flag football was so much fun, and I fell in love with it,” said Iosivas.
Quote:In addition to football, Iosivas started track in Junior School.
Quote:In addition to his feats in high school football and track and field, he also lettered in a third sport, basketball.
He played other sports, but he also played football pretty much all his whole life. Played it in grade school, middle school, and high school... and was at Princeton for 5 years.
