I grew up with a ballplayer who had the stuff. Everybody knew that as soon as his senior year was finished he'd be signing a nice bonus contract. This was before the draft. Then, along with some friends, he got caught stealing from lockers in the school and he was suspended and cut from the team.
Ballplayers are not known for their smarts.
In High School, the Jocks weren't known for their smarts. Sometimes that carries into adulthood.
