I agree basically but

IQ scores have been shown to be associated with such factors as morbidity and mortality,[3][4] parental social status,[5] and, to a substantial degree, biological parental IQ. While the heritability of IQ has been investigated for nearly a century, there is still debate about the significance of heritability estimates[6][7] and the mechanisms of inheritance.[8]

So let them bang there heads over it. 1000+ years and they are still debating.

maybe i should reword it

Being a small school player he has a lot learn. As he learns we will see what what kind of football IQ he might have.

the question turns into what is his football IQ ceiling?

Intelligence which is what IQ measures is a persons capacity for a number of things and regardless of its origin doesn't increase much with age.

Adam Kirby @2 years old was the youngest member of British Mensa scoring 141 on the Stanford-Benet. There wasn't time to develop that and his parents are of average intelligence. Its a case of blue and yellow making green; or two gasses forming a liquid under the right circumstances.

Try looking at it from this perspective. There is a difference between learning, and memorizing... One requires memory and the other requires a level of conceptual understanding. We all memorize e = mc^2, few grasp the concept of theoretical relativity.

I do agree that it will take a bit of time for us as fans to understand his capacity since we only get limited amounts of exposure to him. I am sure, that coaches who have dealt with him have a good idea of what that is.
