The point is it is rare. Guys that can't run routes in college should not be expected to suddenly be able to do it in the NFL if they could not in college.

Statistics and fewer drops would indicate that things have indeed changed for Watson.
Hill became a better route runner but he was still open all the time from the outset.
Devante Adams was widely considered a poor route runner in college:
Quote:
Plays very sloppily and inconsistently.
Timing of his routes and effort when making cuts is inconsistent, at best.
Seems to play lazily at times and rounds off his routes.
He lacks the athleticism to have such a passive approach to the game.
Extremely inconsistent in his body placement on 50-50 balls.

Moore, in contrast, was widely considered a good route runner in college.
Quote:
Shows polish on the routes he is asked to run. Maintains speed coming out of breaks and understands how to stay friendly to the quarterback on his breaks.
Flashes the quickness and play strength to beat press coverage. Keeps corners off-balanced.

But again, selective framing on your part.
