I assume some positions need to be smarter than others. OLine one QB probably the smartest people on the field if I had guess. Players in HS and even College can get by without the IQ but Very few NFL players talk poorly. It takes ability (physical and mental) to last more than a few years in the pros. Not that I watch.

And no I would last one tackle and probably never walk again.

I don't watch anymore, either. But having had my "bell rung" (seeing stars actually happens) once in high school football, then rooming in a "jock dorm" of a major college (Archie Griffin lived on the next floor down from me our freshman year) and seeing what physical specimens those guys are at that level, playing in the pros must be akin to being hit by a bus a few dozen times a day.
