I believe you are taking the background check a bit too far. I know know that the FBI intelligence guys do a check for a enourmous fee for the NFL. But to say this check is more in-depth than the Secret Service background check is laughable. I know this personally. Plus, common sense would tell you that a guy protecting the president would get a more detailed background check than an NFL official.

Common sense is not common in government. However, in this case you are probably right. High level security agents are subject to polygraph exams and I doubt that the NFL is subjecting its officials to polygraphs.
Direct from an NFL supervisor, all prospective NFL officials undergo an IQ exam.
