Their football players. The ones that start usally aren't very bright. Smartest one I ever meet was Latravis Washington, and he barely sniffed the feild.Typically the linemen are a little brighter though.
Maybe thats the problem. Say what you want but football is a thinkin mans game now. Not just Xs and Osbut its very calculating game of strategy and controlled aggression. If all your starters are not "smart" well, youre not gonna be a very good football team.
On the end, grades in class and on tests are probably not reflective of a players football intelligence. But our quarterback struggling with a class called football theory is definitely not something to brush aside.
