Ok, We all known these test don't mean much when the players hit the field, look at Vince, he scored low and he's our main...opps, never mind!!:huh

Georgia's Matthew Stafford showed himself to be in a class by himself.

Georgia's Matthew Stafford scored 38
Mark Sanchez scored 28
Kansas State's Josh Freeman 27.
(All are acceptable scores for quarterbacks)


NFL teams would like for receivers' test scores to be about 18, but several of the top prospects fell below that mark
Michael Crabtree Texas Tech scored 15
Darrius Heyward-Bey Maryland scored 14
Percy Harvin Florida scored 12
Hakeem Nicks North Carolina scored 11.

The test result is particularly interesting in the case of Harvin, who will have more learning to do than the others based on the offense he played in at Florida and the fact he could be used in multiple roles.:ohmy

WR Jeremy Maclin of Missouri was outstanding by comparison with a 25 test score.

I don't take the Wonderlic into account too much, but if the real tests are anything like the sample ones found online, some of those scores are atrocious.

Here's one of the sample tests (http://vandalaysolutions.com/wpt/wpt.html). It's 10 questions in 2:26 (a few nanoseconds off the same time per question as the 50 question, 12 minute test the NFL players take). The time starts as soon as you click the link.

FWIW, I got a 35.

Well now I can see why some guys blow that test. It isn't hard, it is the fact you know your getting timed. It is almost like there are two eyes watching you think. It's not something I would let kill a guys stock if he does poor on it. But I am sure it makes drafting a guy No. 1 overall alot easier when you can say he is a Wonderlic genius!

I still think the Wonderlic test should be treated like a stack of mob money given to the Joker.
