Raw intelligence is not what is being measured.
It depends on your definition of smart but in terms of football it's how quickly you can assess a situation and make a logical effective decision. And really that definition applies to all smart people in all walks of life.
As such, the things you listed are deficiencies in making quick logical decisions and therefore people with those deficiencies by my definition aren't as smart as people who don't have such limitations.
And I should know because I am a slow reader and have some dyslexic tendencies; in other words I understand why I'm not as smart as people who don't have those limitations.

To put it in practical terms, by the time Tua realizes New England is actually not playing man-to-man but a Cover 3 shell- the DE is already burying his head in the turf.

Dyslexia can be overcome. I've seen it happen to people I went to school with.
They're are tools that can help with your disorder. I'm sure your aware of this as am I. But, a slower reader does not always equivocate into a lower ability to learn and comprehend at a sufficiently high rate. P.S. good luck with your LD.
