I just don't think saying "he dominated against less competition in college, why can't he do anything in the NFL" is legitimate question. I may be looking at it from too simple of a perspective, but it seems logical to me.
I don't see how it can seem so logical to you when history proves you are wrong.
There have been guys who dominated physically against weaker competition and also dominated in the NFL. Look ad David Johnson from Northern Iowa this year. The year before that there was Kahlil Mack from Buffalo, Joel Bitonio from Nevada, plus Derek Carr and Devante Adams from Fresno State.
And here is a partial list of players from the Conference USA
Brandon Marshall Pro bowl WR
Latavius Murray Pro Bowl RB
Linval Joseph 5 year starter DT
Blake Bortles starting QB
Chris Johnson All Pro RB
Ahmed Bradshaw 2 X 1000 td rusher
Roddy White All Pro WR
Jamie Collins starting LB for Super Bowl Champions
Emmanual Sanders starting WR for Super Bowl Champion
Sebastion Vollmer starting RT for Super Bowl Champion
Matt Forte Pro Bowl RB
You can't just write off all players from Conference because they are not a power 5 conference.
