What to make of Johnny Manziel's 32 score on the Wonderlic?

Texas A&M redshirt sophomore quarterback Johnny Manziel reportedly scored a 32 on the Wonderlic intelligence test, tops among the highest-ranked prospects at the position in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Why did I know for a fact that someone would say Tim’s number was lie?

Can you not appreciate Tim for who he is, a great college QB, a man of great faith, and a pretty decent all around guy? You need him to be the smartest guy in the room as well?

And your reluctant, well if he did score that low, the test is flawed is just funny.

I don’t doubt that Manziel is intelligent, even though he acts like a dumbass a lot of the time. I have known a lot of very intelligent people who still do a lot of dumb things.

He redshirted as a freshman, so while a junior academically or chronologically, it is only athletically that he is/was a sophomore. Also, based on an earlier post he began attending during the Spring Semester so he was ahead by a Semester anyway.
Finally, the way I read the posts is he's close to his degree, not finished. I doubt he's done much class work this Spring Semester as preparations for the Combine and the School's/Player's Pro-Day seem to have become a full-time pastime.

Also, I don't think you have to graduate to get an Aggie Ring.

The tone of this post seems snarky for some reason, really wasn't my intent.

Tebow’s major was Family, Youth and Community Sciences.

He was clearly on the verge of a Field’s Medal...

Mr. Tebow's wisdom quite probably exceeds every one of the recipients of that prize. There's "book smarts" and "common sense" and I have no doubt that Mr. Tebow is the kind of individual I'd like to have around when the going gets tough.

It's my understanding that Albert Einstein couldn't drive a car. That may be an urban myth but there are plenty of educated fools churned out by the Ivory towers of the Ivy League.

He may, or may not, be wiser. He definitely seems like a great guy. It was more of a comment on his major, and a previous poster stating that his test score was some liberal lie.

I went to UF while Tebow was there, so I am a Tebow fan.

I thought the "Gator" portion of your name was a giveaway! Every time I hear a radio commercial for BJU Press Homeschool, I think of Mr. Tebow's considerable accomplishments resulting from Christ-centered home schooling.

“What’s the civilian comparison? The Postal Exam!”

Passed both in canada and the US. The canadian one was more difficult that out of 60, 3 of us passed and I was already at the elevator leaving when my name was called. USPS slightly different.

I think Johnny will succeed in the NFL if he doesn’t get maimed. That’s the big challenge for a mobile qb these days.

There are certainly things far more important than test grades in life. :)

Considering Einstein was 30 years old in 1909, I’m sure a lot of people then didn’t know how to drive cars.

You don’t need to graduate to get a ring. You need 90 hours. He was a redshirt freshman, and he graduated high school in December so he could go to A&M in the soring. He needs 20 more hours to graduate which he says he will complete.
