Quote:I always had the feeling that Cox wasn't totally sold out to football and that hindered his development. I think he had the skill level to play in the League, but if he wanted to make it a long term thing he was going to have to put in more work into being a football player than what he was intending to do.

I agree completely. He overachieved in a few games his rookie season and played above average in a half dozen games in his sophomore campaign.

Then he seemed to get cocky and quit putting in the effort required to perform at a high level. I'm sure the 4 injuries didn't help, but by the time the Caldwell/Bradley bus came to town, it was obvious he wouldn't be a candidate for that "highly competitive" mold they had designed for the players they would sign or keep.

He had the talent but lost the drive, IMO. It happens frequently. I see it in my field all the time. Complacency kills.
