Had an absolute stud DE I drafted in the 3rd round, close to 90 OVR by his second season. 3rd season he CRUSHED the all-time single-season sack record at 27 in 2022. It's now 2031 and his record is still 4 sacks above the next guy. It's worth noting he also had 36 hurries and 4 blocked passes that same season. His next two seasons he was "only" able to put up 11 sacks on the season so I ended up trading him. His overall still showed high 80s, but I couldn't justify spending over 15M in cap space on a player that had clearly peaked very early and was on a steady decline.
Moral of the story I guess is that there are a multitude of factors going on that dictate how player perform, and scouting ratings doesn't always have the answers.
