2020 NFL Draft: Wonderlic test scores revealed, Tua Tagovailoa ranks lowest among quarterbacks, per report
CBS Sports ^ | April 17, 2020 | Jeff Kerr

Tua Tagovailoa is one of the top quarterback prospects in the 2020 NFL Draft, even though there's a mystery where the talented quarterback will be taken in the first round as he comes back from injury. For those looking for another reason to dip Tagovailoa's draft stock, his Wonderlic test scores are ammunition for a red flag. Tagovailoa scored a 13 on the Wonderlic test, the lowest score among the quarterbacks in the 2020 draft class (per The Athletic's Bob McGinn). LSU's Joe Burrow, the projected No. 1 overall pick in the draft, had the third-highest score at 34. Iowa's Nate Stanley scored the highest grade at 40, followed by Georgia's Jake Fromm at 35.

Bradshaw was one of the toughest, most fierce competitors I ever saw.
He was a damn fine quarterback too.

For comparison, Colin Kaepernick had a Wonderlic score of 38. Brett Favre scored a 22. The Wonderlic score tells you how good a player is at taking a standardized test. It doesn't tell you much about how he'll do as an NFL player. It also doesn't tell you much about his character.

I'd be far more concerned about Tua's injury history than his test scores.

What do you expect from the draft at QB?

JAX, PATS, Chargers LOOKING FOR QB ... ?
What happens to Andy Dalton?

I would draft Tua and sit him til Nov to get healthier.

How do you assess Herbert, Eason, Fromm?

Who knows? That situation may take care of itself.

How do you assess Herbert, Eason, Fromm?

Hebert has been getting a lot of positive talk the last couple of weeks. He slipped under the radar what with Burrows' phenomenal season and playing at Oregon.

And what about Hurts?

"...Wonderlic test scores revealed, Tua..."

So... This means that the NFL has cheerleaders at the combine to administer this test?

Hey now... Vince Young scored the lowest wonderlic test score ever and look how well things turned out for him... Nothing worked out very well for the teams he played on, but he made tons of money.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
He spent tons of money, and is now pretty much broke.

Yup.. Apparently he owes a payday loan outfit more than a million... I can’t even imagine hitting up a payday loan company for my paycheck and it isn’t even close to a million... Or even close to being close to a million. Only a knucklehead would ask a payday loan company for a million dollar loan... And only a knucklehead payday loan company would offer one to Vince Young.

Hurts. Some rank him high. Some don’t. Who has the best rankings?

He's going to have to demonstrate that his past injuries are, indeed, in the past.

Yes. Availability is the most important ability.

NFL Draft bust candidates: Tua Tagovailoa, Jalen Hurts and the riskiest picks in 2020

If you're being forecast as a possible draft bust, that's not good.

OTOH, Marino almost slipped out of the first round, and IMHO, he was the best QB in his draft class.

CBS mock draft has 6 QBs going in first 3 rounds.

CIN
MIA
JAX
SAINTS
CHI
PATS.

in that order.

Chargers are also a big possibility.

FWIW

Plenty of chatter now about Raiders taking a first-round QB. With the 12th & 19th picks, that likely forces JAX, LAC to take a QB immediately.

You can add the Packers to possible QB draft. But I doubt it, as they are in win now mode.

NO LOCAL speculation on Bears going for QB.

USA-TODAY, in their mock draft, has 4 QBs Going in the first round:

CIN 1
LAC 6
PATS 13 via trade
MIAMI 18

Passing on a QB:
JAX 9
OAK 12

Interesting, but I don’t think that’s how it plays out.
