As a whole I'd rate them as the dumbest jocks amongst the major professional sports.

In descending order of intelligence:
Baseball
Basketball
Hockey
Football

What is yours?

NFL ( you do not need to go further than Aaron Hernadez, not to mention at least few dozen arrests every year )
NBA ( hint: how many games are in the round of sweet 16? )
BASEBALL ( With dumb Latino players and blacks, it is distant 3rd.)
Hockey

Anti-social behavior is not really an accurate gauge of intelligence. There are plenty of dumb football players but the complexity of the game/assignments demand a certain level of functional gray matter. I'd hazard to guess that the occurrence of mental mistakes is far greater in baseball than football. If a football player continually blows his assignment he is promptly benched. Not so in baseball. In fact the baseball manager dares not say anything to the offending party lest he be accused of "showing up" the offending dumbass. At least in football they get an ass chewing by the coach in most cases.

Football you really have to split in half. The true skill position players, most of your RB's, WR's and CB's have to be some of the dumbest human beings on the planet.
