They are just less injury prone and on the flip side, some players are born more predisposed to injuries. Manny Machado was like that, he had "bad genetic knees" and had multiple surgeries including a preventive surgery to an uninjured ligament to just get it over with.
AP also takes stretching and his body health very seriously. He hyper extended his knee 2 years ago on a play and when I saw it, I thought he would be done for the year. It looked bad bad. But he was out a few snaps and back in, albeit hobbling a bit.
"Injury prone" is something I believe in. Teams who can identify it (seems hard to do) are in a better position bc like Czabe says 'availability is the best ability'.
