I can imagine if he's with a bad team he may be more likely to switch it off.

Even with a decent team, if he gets his butt handed to him for a quarter or two, will he quit?  Maybe not.  Maybe with the right coach he'll become a driven consistent player, maybe even a HOF player.  But it wouldn't surprise me if questions like that were among the reasons that he hasn't yet been picked.

He's still one of the best players on the board. But why has he fallen out of the first round? I mean perhaps he hasn't, perhaps teams never had a first round grade on him but he was highly regarded.

FWIW, Warren Sapp was supposedly working with him to prepare for draft and stated that the kid is not coachable. 
 

But it is Warren Sapp and he could have mistaken Barmore for hookers and blow.
