because every player comes out of college having been perfectly coached in all aspects

I remember years ago in college the first rule of optimization stressed to us was make the most common case fast. I have to imagine in coaching there's a similar tenet. Probably something like "work on fixing the worst problem first." This guy's worst problem has been that he can't play the ball, which is pretty debilitating to a corner in man to man coverage. Maybe he'd be okay in a purely zone scheme where he never had to stop looking at the quarterback and the ball, but he's terrible as a man corner.

Like I said, it's insulting to UGA's coaching staff to believe they wouldn't have noticed and tried to fix this problem already.

It reminds me of bad QBs with good measurables that kick around a few teams with everyone thinking they can fix the guy and they can't.

Can Campbell eventually get it? Maybe. I just think it's ridiculous to think coaching has been his problem, I'm sure he's been coached like crazy on this, and probably more than NFL coaches will even be allowed to do thanks to the limits on practical coaching time for NFL players.
