I think it says a lot about raw athleticism

The reality is that BYU does not recruit many NFL-caliber athletes. What we recruit are smart, disciplined, and above average athletes. Then, some of those go on missions and lose a step. Ziggy and Lasike are both NFL-caliber athletes for their positions. The coaching staff did a great job of teaching them the game and making it possible for them to transition to the next level.
