Yep, you're right. There's no difference in durability between guys like Jimmie Ward and Deforest Buckner. Injury prone is a myth.
How many games in college did Jimmie Ward miss
2013: Third-team All-American, first-team All-MAC, and a semifinalist for the Jim Thorpe Award starting in 14 games. 2012: First-team All-MAC pick after starting all 13 games. Made 14 tackles in Orange Bowl against Florida State. 2011: First-team All-MAC pick after playing in 14 games and starting 12. Made six tackles and had an interception in the MAC Championship Game against Ohio. 2010: Played in 13 games, and set a school record with three blocked punts.
Dude played in 54 college games....
I don't think you can label injuries all the same and under the label "injury prone" IMO I put a bigger red flag next to a draft pick that's currently coming off a big injury like an ACL/Achilles and we haven't seen them play after that injury.
