I think this is more informative about the institution the athlete comes from rather than his prospects for a future in the NFL. I guess it is also informative about how the player values education or being knowledgable about something beyond football.

I heard Claiborne was given a pop-up book for his playbook.

Lol.

'Charlie Wonderlic Jr., president of Wonderlic Inc., says, "A score of 10 is literacy, that's about all we can say."'

4 out of 50?

Unless you are a Conservative taking a Liberal qualification test....that's bad.

It’s not really informative on anything. Most of the wonderlic score is speed, you can be really well educated but slow to answer and score for crap.

Why do players take these things? They may be a good predictor, I don’t know. I did hear Frank Gore scored, like, a 4 on it. A score, anyway, you’d expect to be able to top by answering every question with “C.” I also know the highest score in the history of my local team, the Vikings, was by an offensive lineman. Not traditionally considered a skill position.

I suppose it may be one of those “one consideration among many”s. But let’s say you had two players who were about equal in position necessity for the unique needs of your team, ability, personality, readily apparent intelligence, “coachability,” PR smoothness, and potential criminality. Do you honestly think a Wonderlic score would break the tie? I don’t. So who needs it?

So that would INCLUDE white guys with embarrassingly slow times in the 40?

Right, Roger?
