Russell's Wonderlic score was a 28. The average score for NFL players is 20, and for QB's it's 24. That doesn't always equate to football smarts, but the league used it for a reason, so it obviously has some merit. When you couple that fact with what we've known about Russell, that he has a very strong work ethic, I would tend to think that the story isn't true, at least not in its entirety.
I do know that there were rumors that when he was with the Broncos, that he was calling old Seahawk audibles that no one understood, and there was a controversy about him wearing a wristband when his coaches suggested it. The truth probably lies somewhere in the middle.
