I know Bill Barnwell isn't everyone's favorite writer, but I enjoyed this article and thought it might be an interesting conversation starter.

What are your thoughts on the "it" factor?
Is it something real, and can be measured?
If so, why are NFL evaluators so bad at recognizing "it" when it comes to drafting?
Is it hogwash? A bunch of psychobabble that means very little compared to measurable and observable characteristics?
If so, why do so many people around the league tout it as one of the most vital factors towards determining success?
Who has "it?" Can you gain "it" at any point in your career if you don't have "it?" Is "it" something you're born with, or something that comes from experience and success?
I don't know where I stand on, "it." Just wanted to get some takes.
