I was looking at Wonderlic scores and noticed several familiar players, including Marlon Lucky.

[Otter]

Terry Bradshaw 15

Who would have guessed. :D

It's funny (don't know why, just is) that the place kickers have the highest average of all the positions.

I heard Brian Billick on Dan Patrick this morning and Dan asked him which of the 4 things he'd be most leary of in a prospect:

Legal troubles, steroids, pot, or low Wonderlic

Billick immediately through out the Wonderlic. He said he gave the test to his coaching staff and HIMSELF and wasn't willing to comment further. ROFL

Who would have guessed it was that high. :D

huh

[Mojo Jojo]

Rumor was Neil Smith did real bad, but dude could play ball.

[googlegoogle]

Just proof these guys shouldn't be in college at all. Greedy Ncaa greasing those wheels.

[Garcia Bronco]

It's a test. Anyone can study, practive, and beat the test.

It's a test. Anyone can study, practive, and beat the test.Yeah, that's why everyone aces the ACT/SAT.

[Valiant]

So either you are saying that the majority of them are too lazy to PRACTIVE for the test and do well.. Or they do practice and are still that ignorant to get low scores.. Wonder how these guys are passing classes??

Maybe we should petition congress to to an in depth investigation of any football player that cannot crack a 20 on the test and see how they are managing to pass their classes..

Geebus, a Ball State education must suck (may explain Whitlock :))

Nate Davis - 11/45 worst among QB's

Robert Brewster - 11/39 worst among OT's

What happened to this guy, anyway? He was talked up as a high second-rounder back in January but I have heard nothing about him since then.

[KCChiefsMan]

techmology, what is it? I dunno, some of you all out there probably never even heard of the word

Only Indy showed up for his pro day. At least he has is education fall back on :doh!:

[Skip Towne]

Maybe we shouldn't dig too deeply into this.

Nate Davis has a learning disability...it's just stunning he wouldn't do well in a timed test that asks odd questions.

[Garcia Bronco]

Yeah, that's why everyone aces the ACT/SAT.

I doubt you can ace it, but you can improve your score significantly by practicing and knowing the rules of the test. There are two differnt things going on when you take a test. Knowing the information being tested and knowing how to take the test to prodice the best results.

[Buck]

1240 on the SAT here, when the limit was still 1600.

[Garcia Bronco]

So either you are saying that the majority of them are too lazy to PRACTIVE for the test and do well...

Exactly

I remember hearing about that too, does anyone know the type of disability they stated.

We need more MIT football players.

I recall 1989...Carl's first draft and the Chiefs needed an impact LB. It was coming down to one of the Thomas' (Derrick or Broderick). The story was that Broderick set an all-time low on the Wonderlic, so Carl and Marty went with Derrick. So I guess all Chiefs fans can thank the test for getting a HOF linebacker.
