I have never seen the wonderlic test, so I don't even know what kind of questions are on it. But Dan Marino scored a 14 on it.

This is the key. Has anyone ever really done that?

If a guy scores really low, does it reflect on his performance, or does it reflect the whole team's performance because the game plan has to be adjusted since that player's adjustments and recognition can't be trusted?

Or for that matter, does a low Wonderlic only matter if there are three of them on the field or some such thing? Maybe a team isn't affected with one less astute guy, but two is deadly. It's interesting to think about how it plays out.

meh, but it makes us normal people feel better about ourselves knowing that even though he's a millionaire (or will be soon), we've got him beat mentally because he's borderline reeruned

More proof that Robert Woods is the best WR in this draft. Love to get that guy.

To borrow from a quote, "Going to college makes you no more collegiate than going to a garage makes you an automobile."

How many actually get their diplomas? I thought a lot of them just finished their 4 years and go on to the NFL without actually graduating.
