Maybe you're right, and the schedule that he faced in college featured NFL-level pass-rushers.
That seems counter-intuitive, but I don't know enough to have an opinion on that. I'll take your word for it. Getting warmed up for some races, and this was more of a fun tangent than something I want to put more work into.
the "Than what?" part comes from my assessment of the defenders that he evaded during a brief highlight film that I watched. I stand by that opinion. Many of those specific players, were not quite the match of their NFL counterparts.
I don't think 'level of defenders' is some make-or-break thing. I'm simply mentioning it, along with some other factors like O-line competence, and down-and-distance situational opportunities, as some upcoming environmental changes. I've seen one superhero highlight film of the guy, and everything went well. For all I know he could be the Michael Jordan of the NFL for the next 15 years, but I offered my 'take'.
