Apparently, dumb guys do finish first:
John W. Michel, an assistant professor at Towson University who co-authored the study, told the Washington Post: "We found in no cases was cognitive ability related to (football) performance. We did find a negative relationship for tight ends and defensive backs. For defensive backs, it was the most pronounced; basically, the lower you scored on the Wonderlic, the better you performed."
Claiborne scores 4 on Wonderlic.
2012 NFL draft -- Morris Claiborne, top CB prospect, scored 4 on Wonderlic, sources say - ESPN
Side bar: The student part of the game may be missing. However I did listen to Jay Bilas today say that all the UK kids were athletes first and students second. Good attidtue, I'm sure they all try real hard in class.
