Not really. Tackles have to be at least football smart.

Football smart

Depends on the position

I think offensive lineman normally have the highest scores.

Punters & O tackles had trend Where they were the highest. May have changed

Generally speaking, OL are typically the smartest players after the QB

Which is exactly why they administer the test.
