The Combine is a huge part of the NFL Draft process for prospects, and in addition to position drills and basic athletic testing, prospects are asked to take the Wonderlic test. The scores of these tests are supposed to remain private, but every year some of them get leaked. This year, most of the quarterback scores have been made public by former NFL scout John Middlekauff. He listed off the scores on a recent Fox Sports Radio podcast appearance on "The Herd With Colin Cowherd."

No surprise who came in last among the names listed.

[BenLurkin]

Maybe he can be one of the new NFL pom-pom boys.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Better than Vince Young.

[Flycatcher]

Better than Vince Young.

I believe he scored a 6.

My dog scored a 7.

Josh Allen: 37
Josh Rosen: 29
Sam Darnold: 28

[Lent]

Lol!

If I just took a sample test and out scored them all do I get the job?

[Cyclone59]

That’s because these “student athletes” are given a free ride and never held to any sort of academic standards - starting back in high school.

Are you 6'5" tall, 235 pounds in weight, and able to throw a football 50 yards, hitting a moving one square foot target, but not the one in a different uniform moving in tandem three inches off to the side, releasing the ball a split second before a 350 pound angry person smashes your helmet encased head into a hard artificial surface made to resemble grass, but grown directly over concrete?

Neither can I.

[Ingtar]

I wonder how Riley Ferguson did.

[WASCWatch]

25 and above is a good score for a QB. 13; not so much.

[WASCWatch]

Vince Young should have bulked up and played defensive end in the NFL. He had the physical tools, but too dumb to play QB in the NFL.

[boycott]

13?

Good thing he went to college. May have scored lower than a head of cabbage without it.

[9YearLurker]

Hey, put Allen and Jackson together and you get a perfect score!

[9YearLurker]

It’s basically a disguised, quicky IQ test—so that probably wouldn’t have made much difference.

[jjotto]

For comparison, Aaron Rodgers scored a 35, Tom Brady 33, Terry Bradshaw 16.

I am really slipping...only scored a 40.

[wgmalabama]

I assume some positions need to be smarter than others. OLine one QB probably the smartest people on the field if I had guess. Players in HS and even College can get by without the IQ but Very few NFL players talk poorly. It takes ability (physical and mental) to last more than a few years in the pros. Not that I watch.

And no I would last one tackle and probably never walk again.
