has anyone put together any sort of ranking as far as which positions scouts and coaches care what your wonderlic is? it seems like QB would top the list, then maybe O-line, LB, safety? just a guess on my part.

QB and OL are tops where this is important. Positions like DB or RB are less important as they are more tuned on instinct.

Matt Stafford scoring a 38 is pretty impressive, but I am also curious to know if there is a correlation between Wonderlic score and NFL success for QBs or OLs even.

 

ETA - Got curious about Wonderlic scores and found out that Eli scored a 39 while Peyton scored a 28. I wouldn't have guessed that...

But wouldn't a LB that is tagged, for example, the MIKE be perceived as having alittle higher intelligence level than most? I mean he is calling the defensive audibles out there.

 

ETA: I just re-read your post and you didn't even mention LB lol. :kickselfinnuts:

Those have to be quite a bit easier than the real thing. I like to consider myself intelligent but getting 9 out of 9 on that wasn't hard. In all the years that players have taken the exam and having only 1 confirmed 50 scored, I doubt all of the questions are that easy.

 

 

Yeah and they probably get harder as you go along. Anyone know if there is an actual test anywhere?

Smells like a job for Big John!!

Unfortunately, wonderlic charges clients (Tne NFL being the best known client but they have many other clients too) to give out the full test so they don't make those available for free online, but only give out partial tests based on old tests they used.

One front office man said he was not concerned about Delmas' score because he plays smart he's a dumb jock. Delmas still could be the first safety chosen.

 

 

well, in our little mock draft game, we chose this cat..dumb jocks are everwhere.....doesn't mean that can't play well, didn't Dan Marino score a 16?

That was my impression as well.

Well...it did take Eli half the time to win a SB, not that that means anything...

If only that were true ... Heck, if only more of the DI full scholarship football/basketball players had to meet true academic requirements to get in to college in the first place and had to truly be academically successful maintain their eligibility. Or, better yet, if DI recognized those who can't do either of those as employees of the college and paid them to play as entertainers bringing money in to the college and stopped the farce ... Myron Rolle should be a lot closer to the standard for big-money-sports college athletes rather than the once in decade exception.
