Yes, professional football players commonly have lower IQs than the general population. Studies have found an average IQ of 85 in a survey of NFL players and 76 in a survey of NFL Draft prospects. These findings are consistent with prior research that has linked sports participation to lower levels of intelligence. In addition to football, other sports such as basketball and boxing have also been shown to cause lower overall IQ levels.
