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.

Congratulations on all that non-linear correlation and imagining. 

The UGA coaches did well coaching him up on learning to read receivers hip movement and shadow or counter them. 

They had less success teaching him to locate the football. Im fine if that's insulting and i think it is very possible there could be valid blame laid at the feet of those coaches. 

Or maybe he has an individual issue with that aspect that good college coaching couldn't fix. 
Neither of is know which us more accurate. But enjoy your flimsy conviction.

The weirdest part isn't that he can't locate the football, as it's understandable that a guy maybe has trouble finding the football when it's already in the air. The weird part is that he almost never even turns his head to start looking, even when he's deep down field and he'd have time to try.

Anyway, maybe you're right, maybe he's never been coached to turn his head. Seems unlikely, but you're right that we'll probably never hear from his college coaches to get confirmation either way.
