In my experience watching sports at every level...when a kid dominates inferior competition just because of pure physical dominance...once he reaches the level where the competition has caught up physically...he typically struggles.
Just a hunch...I could be wrong.
I'd say in my experience it depends on the individual. I can think of examples both ways. Robert Gallery is a notable Iowa example. I thought for sure he'd do better at the next level. Conversely, I felt the same way about Suggs in college.
It depends on the individual. Also, some guys that develop late were really not much of anything in college, we see how many late round and undrafted free agents turn into perennial pro bowl caliber players.
