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.
 
Too bad that he tied that highly intelligent ISU running back's (Darren Davis) record. I thought for sure that was one could last for a long time. :)
