I can't find anything noteworthy, besides the elements that many prospects improve naturally over the years, as they mature physically and mentally, as they gain experience of the game, internalize its patterns, and train in the off-season, things like getting stronger, increasing defensive awareness, learning the timing of certain plays.
There is no other way to put it:
