I think you get 4 points for spelling your name correctly on the test?

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Eli had a great score and he makes more poor on the field choices than Big Ben and Rivers. Vince Young seemed to have a pretty good rookie season himself also.

I think McNabb had a low score.

 

[Dave Stauff]

And why isn't Jamarcus Russell on the list? Did he not take the test?

 

[Colin Dowling]

In the actual link to the site, Leak's score is blank.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Drew Henson had one of the highest scores and he's out of football.

 

[Chase Stuart]

Charlie Frye, Eli Manning, Craig Krenzel and Alex Smith scored between 38-40.

and didn't vince young get a 9 the first time he took it last year? Bottom line the wonderlic has nothing to do with how successful a qb will be out on the field

an old article on kevin curtis from the utah state university website:According to Rams head coach Mike Martz, "He's got terrific speed, terrific change of direction, body control and he's got exceptional hands." In reference to Curtis' 48 out of 50 score on the Wonderlic intelligence test that athletes took at the NFL Combine, Martz also said, "When you throw into the mix that he's got the highest test score we've ever seen--we think he can learn more than just one or two postions."

does this help or hurt his FA stock?

i guess martz likes smart guys-didnt he draft fitzpatrick too?

 

[Ron_Mexico]

Chris Leak will be a bust regardless of his Wonderlic score.

 

[Bojang0301]

I hate to break it to everbody but NFL teams put little to no stock in this test.

 

[kensat30]

Frank Gore scored a 6.

 

[Al Toon's Mole]

Anyone have an idea what Ryan Leaf scored.

That will show the true measure of how useless this test is.

Peyton Manning 28, Ryan Leaf 27.I guess that proves it. Manning > Leaf.

All the smart guys in the state of FL go to FSU.

I disagree. I think this test is used to weed out "the bad apples" but does not help your stock if you score high.

[EBF]

Frank Gore scored a 6.

Me Frank Gore. Me get football. Me run football.

Dyslexia might have a bit to do with that.

That link is reporting on a score from the macmirabile site that has since removed Leak's score.

Check it out - Leak's name is there and no score-

Whoops. The 8 was out of 12 not 8 out of 50.

Chris Leak & the Wonderlic

I've recently received a few emails about Chris Leak's reported score of 8. Here are my thoughts on the issue.

First, this information came from a reliable source, nfldraftscout.com, which obtained the score from the Univ. of Florida's pro day in 2006 (not 2007). It wasn't invented or misreported as in Vince Young's case last year. It cannot be stressed enough that a practice test taken in 2006 is not comparable to a Combine test in 2007.

Other information I was able to find on Chris Leak:

High school honor roll student,

3.0+ College GPA, degree in Social and Behavioral Science

Leak's 2006 campus workout

4.66 in the 40-yard dash

300-pound bench press (bench presses 225 pounds 10 times)

400-pound squat

31-inch vertical jump

9'5" broad jump

4.24 20-yard shuttle

30 3/8-inch arm length

9 3/8-inch hands

8/12 Wonderlic score

The 8/12 Wonderlic score means Leak answered 12 questions and got 8 of them right. Personally, I'd be more concerned about his intelligence if he had answered 50 questions and gotten only 8 correct. One of the important things to remember here is that the Wonderlic score measures general intelligence aptitude, and not work ethic or likely NFL success. Leak was a high school honor roll student, an a Draddy finalist (http://www.footballfoundation.com/news.php?id=1008), and he's has worked hard for his many successes with what many consider marginal tools.

Whether or not Leak gets a chance to succeed or fail in the NFL will not be determined by his Wonderlic score, but by his height and arm strength, both of which rank him near the bottom of the 2007 qb draft prospects. NFL teams invest millions scouting players and are very careful who they select before signing 23-year-olds to multi-year mult-million dollar deals. A low Wonderlic score simply raises a flag which interested teams will address during interviews at the combine or prospect's pro day.

In the Spring of 2005, I published a paper in which I presented an empirical analysis of the relationships between intelligence and both passing performance in college and compensation in the NFL. I selected a group of 84 quarterbacks who were drafted and subsequently signed to NFL rosters from 1989 to 2004. My hypothesis was that intelligence is the most important and perhaps most rewarded at the quarterback position. I used a wide variety of passing performance statistics and Wonderlic scores to separate the effects of intelligence and ability. The estimated models revealed no statistically significant relationship between intelligence and collegiate passing performance. Likewise, I found no evidence of higher compensation in the NFL for players with higher intelligence as measured by the Wonderlic Personnel Test administered at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Until the 2007 Combine results are posted, I will not post Leak's campus wonderlic results.
