Aj Green And Patrick Peterson Wonderlic Scores
-
More stuff I found about the wonderlic:
A score of 48 is still behind former Cincinnati Bengals Punter Pat McInally. A former Harvard grad, McInally is the only player to register a verified 50 out of 50 on the test. That score is what convinced then Coach Paul Brown to draft McInally because he was enamored with intelligent football players. McInally once said he thought the score hurt him because NFL coaches and owners don’t like “extremes” in one direction or the other.
It is rumored Buffalo quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick registered a 48 also on the Wonderlic test, however other reports deny that. The NFL doesn’t release the scores and they are only leaked by scouts and reporters at the Combine. So verification is difficult to do.
Arguably one of the smartest quarterbacks ever in the league Bernie Kosar, who graduated from University of Miami in less than 3 years, doesn’t have a registered score because he didn’t compete in the combine. The reason is he wasn’t graduated by the draft in April and entered the league in the Supplementary draft in August of 1985.

I've heard teams use a cutoff of 20 on the test for qbs, and 25 is better. The results in your other post bear that out with some exceptions.
BTW, RE Fitzpatrick, I have NO doubts that 48 on the Wunderlich is correct. If you saw my link to the Sporing News article, Ryan is a Harvard grad also- and his SAT score was 1580, which means he missed one stinking question on the test. I'd say that qualifies in the genius category.
PS Christian Ponder who's in this year's draft, graduated in 2- 1\2 years, and he wasn't taking basket weaving as a major.

What seems to be the problem? These guys aren't being paid to articulate the chaos theory or solve multivariable calculus equations, they're here to play football.
And they're damn-good at it.
Get over it.

What a great country huh? Despite (apparently) being dumber than a box of rocks these guys are going to be millionaires in short order.
Without sports these guys would be lucky to hold down a job at the local carwash.

When you can run a 4.3 40, beat a press covering corner, and jump 40 inches in the air over a safety to haul in an underthrown pass for a TD, then you can talk.

Good one... But you have to have a brain to do my job, probably yours too. 4.3 40 etc does you no good.

I actually do the same job as them. What I was trying to say is their physical gifts get them the millions, not their mental prowess, or lack thereof.
I'm a center, on the other hand. I actually have to have a brain.
I'm awesome, and I fuck dolphins. Ghoolie 12/2/2012: I have absolutely no skills, training or pride -

I wish.
But I agree with you, it's ridiculous what they get paid in comparison to those who make a difference everyday. It's all for entertainment, and its a shame.
But, if I can get paid for playing, I'm not going to turn it down. Knock on wood.

Well, let's see. I took that sample test & had 45, plus I'm 5'8", 64 years old, & 214 lbs. Now, I figure I could be a high pick, IF I were....
QB...10 lbs heavier, 8" taller, 42-44 years younger, & talented
DB...same weight, 4" taller, 42-44 years younger, & FAST
WR...10 lbs heavier, 10" taller, 42-44 years younger & faster than that DB above
I found the sample test to be pretty easy & I have no college. I find myself wondering about some of these guys hurting their scores by spending too much time on questions on which they're "stumped". Of course, the flip side of that is their inability to make quick decisions. I'll let the "draft" pros decide on this one as there are some kids who may lack classroom skills but understand their game.

Yeah, I play for UNCC soccer, team Canada U-23 soccer, and got a scholarship to play for UNC Charlotte. Everything has been handed to me since middle school.
In high school I had a B- average, and even I scored a 40 on the wonderlic. I really do wonder how dumb some of these guys are with a score of 6.
With that said, it really doesn't matter what their scores are, as long as they're great at what they do. That's like factoring a med student's 40 time with how great they'll be in the profession.

With one exception- surgeons. Manual dexterity is way more important than genius intelligence. One of my (former) co-workers was great at cross-stitch and decided she was going to go to medical school. I thought to myself- "you're not smart enough". She's now one of the best surgeons in town.
