Brian Griese – 138
Another smart American football player on the list is Brian Griese, who reportedly has an IQ of 138. On the whole, his IQ accounts for the top 2% of the total population. This is incredible, don’t you think? Before joining professional sports, he received a college degree from the University of Michigan. When he finally joined the NFL team Denver Broncos as a quarterback, he had already won the Super Bowl in his rookie season.
He also has a successful broadcasting career and served as a color commentator for his former team. Gris is also the founder and chairman of the board of directors of Judy House, the Children’s Grief Support Center in Denver, Colorado. Because of his philanthropy efforts, he won the 2011 Patterson Sports Charity Excellence Award, which only shows that even though athletes and joggers have certain stereotypes, they are not always the same.
