That guy goes all the way back to TCY, I think. Hard-coded as low development, even with high ceiling. In TCY, there would be schools you'd notice if you recruited really heavily in your home/focus state where they'd just spew out all these 19/85 talents, and even after four years the guy would still be 38/85. I'm not sure what that was supposed to mirror real from real life... but it's been a Solecismic thing for quite some time.
(Fun aside...when you exported a FOF draft file from TCY, you'd see gobs of these high-upside guys end up as tip-top NFL prospects...some kid to goes to Auburn and gets 200 snaps his whole career on account of low development, so he never develops, he graduates rated 29/90 and then gets drafted ahead of the Heisman winner, who was rated 66/66)
