Evaluating athletic evolution

It looks like this might be clickbait. I think about how CR7 evolved from a trickster winger at Sporting and early Man U to a prolific goal-scorer. He's definitely an elite athlete and would still be top-tier, though calling him League One feels exaggerated. I can mention his stepovers and how he adapted with off-ball movement, heading, and finishing skills. He's recorded over 800 career goals and five Ballon d'Ors. The user might want to discuss it, so I could ask if they want background or a data-based comparison.
