Why are so many loudmouthed/bratty players WRs or CBs?

It seems to me that an unusually high proportion of the NFL's brats or it's-all-about-me personalities can be found in the WR and CB ranks. I'm thinking guys like Antonio Brown, Terrell Owens, Odell Beckham, Chad Ochocinco, Deion Sanders, Randy Moss, Cris Carter, Roy Williams (WR), Darrelle Revis, Josh Norman, Aqib Talib, Richard Sherman, etc. Even less-important WR/CBs like Terrance Williams, Patrick Crayton, Kevin Smith and Cole Beasley were unusually bratty or opinionated, relative to their minor role, and even the highly-regarded workman-like Marvin Harrison was known to have a passive-aggressive attitude.

What is it about the WR and CB positions that makes these guys so trash-talky or self-centered?

I was a lineman, 6'4" 330 at my biggest. Those little squirts were always trying to get attention like mosquitoes at dusk. Never bothered me.

How does a wide receiver screw in a lightbulb?

They hold it up to the socket and wait for the world to revolve around them.
