Football history is filled with examples of players like him who were exceptional collegiate players but could never replicate their success in the NFL

Football history is also filled with players that everyone said couldn't play and then the player proved them wrong. Doug Flutie, Kurt Warner and Warren Moon come to mind immediately.

Moon had a long career in Canada before he played in the NFL. Warner was simply a late bloomer ... he played at a small college and wasn't even the starter until his senior year, didn't get drafted, and never played in the NFL until his late 20s.

Doug Flutie actually reinforces my point. That guy was a great college QB who spent his career in the NFL mostly as a backup.
