Wonderlic Results (1 Viewer)

The results of the combine Wonderlic scores have reportedly been released. Vince Young officially scored a 15. As bad as that might be, its superior to Marcus Vick's stellar 11.

The lowest score at the combine was an 8 and was matched by Syracuse DE Kader Drame, Alabama ILB Freddie Roach, Louisville DT Montavious Stanley, N.C. State TE T.J. Williams and Oklahoma DC Chijioke Onyenegecha.

The highest score was 41 by Oklahoma DT Dusty Dvoracek. Prospects at other positions who excelled included Ohio State OC Nick Mangold (35), Tulsa TE/FB Garrett Mills (35), Oregon LB Keith Ellison (36), Cal-Poly State DE Chris Gocong (36), Cornell OL Kevin Boothe (37), Virginia WR Marques Hagans (37), Stanford DT Babatunde Oshinowo (37) and Boston College OT Jeremy Trueblood (37).

Some others who didnt score well include: Penn State DC Alan Zemaitis (9), Miami DE Javon Nanton (10), South Carolina DS Ko Simpson (10), Central Missouri State WR Delanie Walker (10), Syracuse DE James Wyche (10), LSU WR/RS Skyler Green (11), Tennessee DB Jason Allen (11), Clemson DE Charles Bennett (11), Abilene Christian DB Danieal Manning (12), Texas Tech DS Dwayne Slay (12), UCLA TE Marcedes Lewis (13), and Mississippi State RB Jerious Norwood (13).

I was rather surprised to see Marcedes Lewis in that list.

From the linked article:

As usual, there were some interesting results. Texas QB Vince Young did indeed take the test twice. The league has been tight-lipped regarding his first score, but the higher score of his two attempts was a 15.

:confused: So if you take more than two wonderlic tests, do they report your accumated total score or the best of the two?

This makes me more adamant about the Chargers not taking Simpson.

Several of these guys have participated in online chats behind the subscription sites. I was embarrassed for Jason Allen. I really like him as a player, but he cannot spell. Is that important? Ko Simpson's responses were also very... er... 8th grade. Delanie Walker isn't a top prospect, but in his defense, his learning disability is well-documented. His coach will tell you it doesn't affect his football ability though. All he cares about is football. Jerious Norwood accepted an award and his speech also led me to believe he wasn't a stellar student. Danieal Manning is the name on this list that surprised me. Marcedes Lewis... um... man, I hate to spread rumors especially on a site as popular as this where they haven't been mentioned, but Marcedes score doesn't surprise me at all.
 
I'm embarrassed by Zemaitis' score. I've heard him speak several times, especially about his near death experience in a car crash and I can't believe this is an accurate indicator of his smarts or education. He must have messed up the test somehow. :sadbanana:

Maybe Anwar Phillips took Zemaitis' test and visa versa? Or the scores were wrong? That I could believe.
 
So Young originally is reported as scoring 6, then 16, and somehow officially winds up with 15. WTF???
If you want to study up for your next standardized test, you might want to look up the words "rumored," and "reported," and learn about the difference.

:rolleyes: Maybe reporters, editors, and publishers are the ones who should learn about the difference.
 
Actually the Wonderlic results aren't released to the public, just to the NFL teams if I remember correctly, so the article cited may be either a first-hand report from someone who has read it, or second-hand report, or rumor.

 
I wonder in the history of the wonderlic, how many times a player has gotten to take it twice. I wonder if any of those guys with low scores were afforded that oppurtunity.

 
I'd guess that scoring well on the wonderlic isn't a guarentee of being a great QB...here's some results over the past several years...

Ryan Fitzpatrick apparently put on a show for the scouts last year. The Rams' QB scored a perfect 50 during last March's combine. More impressive is the fact that he finished it in a ridiculously short nine-minute span. Then again, those Harvard classes might have helped.

Impressive scores have also come from Alex Smith (40), Eli Manning (39), Craig Krenzel (38), Drew Henson (42), Sage Rosenfels (32), Tom Brady (33) and Brian Griese (39).

The duds? Aaron Brooks (17), Heath Shuler (16), Daunte Culpepper (21), Tee Martin (11), Chris Redman (16), A.J. Feeley (19) and Ell Roberson (11).
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5353378Who knows what it all means? Just another tool in the box...and a seemingly overrated one at that.

Maybe the most well-known Wonderlic story surrounds NFL-bust Akili Smith. When the Oregon QB took the test in 1998, he scored an embarrassingly low "12." Smith, according to agent Leigh Steinberg, spent the next year preparing for the NFL Combine both on the field and off it. Using a tutor, Smith reportedly raised his Wonderlic score 25 points over the course of the next 12 months. In 1999's combine, he put up a 37, solidified himself as a first-round pick and left the tongues of NFL scouts wagging. The Bengals bit, took him with the third pick overall, and the rest is history. Smith's career numbers? Twenty-two career games, 52.8 career QB rating, five TD's and 13 INT's.

Wow, VY scored a 15 the one time he took the wonderlic? That strikes me as being very reliable info. Thanks combine committee!

 
If they can play football who cares?
Well, if Ben Troupe is running 21mph from the 37 yard line at the time when Vince Young is on the 29 and releases the ball at a trajectory of 21 degrees with a velocity of 81 mph... how long will it take Troupe to catch the ball and run for a touchdown?As a QB, don't you think it's important to know these things!

Apparently that is not true.
Pat McInally, a wide receiver/punter from Harvard University who played for the Cincinnati Bengals from 1977 to 1985, is the only player known to have scored a perfect 50. In 2005, it was rumored that Ryan Fitzpatrick, a quarterback also from Harvard, scored a perfect 50, but his actual accomplishment was to finish the test in 9 minutes with a score of 38 — the most impressive speed ever seen at the NFL Combine.

:lmao: Was waiting for your comment here.You don't need 'reliable info' here. It's none of your business. The people who need it, have it.

I fail to see how Culpepper and Feeley are "duds" since a 20 is average. Whoever wrote that article should've left them off.

Something else I laugh at is calling Culpepper a "dud". :no: You eliminate last season and he was considered an all pro by most. Amazing how one bad year tarnishes his career. I would be interested in seeing some Hall of Famers scores.

He should have used the rest of the time to work on his answers - a bit careless if you ask me. :shrug:

Many people very short-sighted and have the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately attitude.

Yeah. Now he can't even brag about having the highest score on the team. Kevin Curtis scored a 48 :shock:
 
What a snore this thread is---merely confirming what FBGs have known for years. The Wonderlick(sounds like something my wife would use.....but thats something for another day :excited: ) is useless and DaGURU deserves to have his wang dropped in AIDS infected blood. (mods delete as appropriate....but you know its true :) )
