On: NFL player IQ by position

They should compare staff positions instead, as coaches and water boys probably display regular IQ patterns.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Do you think the average NFL coach is not of above average intelligence? That job is far too competitive for that to be true.

Err, I mean: Instead of comparing linebackers and centers, compare different types of staff on the teams, viz, coaches and water boys, etc.

I would be interested in that. It seems coaches need a lot of the sorts of intelligence (social, etc) that the IQ test misses entirely. But I'd be willing to bet they're still among the smartest guys on the team.
