He actually is very intelligent, as are most NFL quarterbacks. He supposedly scored a 1310 on the SAT, and got a 35 on the NFL's Wonderlic test (well above average). Also QBs don't suffer nearly as much brain damage as most NFL positions, especially Rogers.

That said, he's an idiot.

you can't trust the grades of athletes in the first place, there are documented scandals which make this plain. The more important you are to the team (ie the more profitable you are to the school, filling seats and winning championships) the more likely you are to be given good grades even if you didn't do the work.

Not to say it applies to this guy, but fair warning...
