Drew Brees – 116
American New Orleans Saints football quarterback Drew Christopher Brees had a successful football career in college at Purdue University. He is the son of a prominent trial lawyer and an attorney. He became one of the most decorated players in the Big Ten Conference and Purdue University history. Brees got offers from two different colleges, Kentucky University and Purdue University. He chose the latter because of the highly rated academics.
He got his degree in industrial management after graduating in 2001. He was named as the second smartest player in the league during SI’s player poll back in 2010, and it’s really no surprise since he has an IQ of 116. He was the big reason for his team’s victory during the Super Bowl XLIV, and during his senior year at Purdue University, he was named the Academic All-America Player of the Year.
