Alleged Wonderlic Scores

[PuppyPuncher]

Chicago Tribune alleges to have the wonderlic test scores and posts them on their site.

I found it very interesting that Keith Rivers scored a 16.

lol, I was gonna post this.

Keith Rivers doesn't have to be smart. Just has to tackle RBs and WRs.

Wonderlic scores don't matter unless they are really bad.

Yea or extremely good. Most I have seen are between 22 and 32. I would guess 40 or so is excellent. I would think under 20 is bad. 16 would be way low.

Or unless you are Vince Young.

As if there haven't been enough posts recently about VY.

Has anyone's stock ever raised because of their Wonderlic test that we know of?

I'd love to see what Anthony Morelli scored... if he even found his way to the testing room.

Alex Smith...the Jets drafted nearly every player in 2006 based on a combo of their Wonderlic score, leadership skills in college, and character.

Yeah, Eric Smith and Anthony Schlegel didn't quite work out. Jury is out on Brad Smith.

Wow. What was Alex Smith's Wonderlic? 40? 42?

And I think we could probably reach a verdict with Brad Smith. He's not going to work out either.

Alex Smith got hype from the Wonderlic/QPA. Maybe Ryan Fitzpatrick got taken earlier because of it, but I don't really know.

[Bluto]

From what I remember reading a year or two ago, Kevin Curtis actually got the highest Wonderlic score ever. It was something like 39/40.

[NoNonsenseCoach]

I thought Fitzpatrick got a perfect? I remember when Fitz threw a TD to Curtis them saying it was the highest Wonderlic Score TD-Combo in history.

I read a local article about this today regarding some local Detroit/Michigan athletes and their scores. Absolutely no correlation between these scores and success. Highest score in this article was Drew Henson with a 42. Even huge bust WR Mike Williams scored a 30.

I don't think it's meant to determine a players success per say. More like his intelligence and get some sort of means on how his learning curve is.

Woh woh woh slow down there. I agree the Jets drafted in 06 with an emphasis being on high character/intelligent players. I also agree on Schlegel being a stupid pick.

I agree the jury is out on Brad Smith. He def brings excitement when he plays, we'll see if he can prove he's a solid #3 WR this year. As for Eric Smith, what? How did he not work out?

He has been a back up for the past 2 years who has been getting more playing time last year. He is making a push for the starting SS this year against Abram Elam. Elam is better against the run and Smith is better against the pass. Personally I'm high on Eric Smith, a real cerebral player who makes plays on the field. Wouldn't be surprised if he is the starter when the season's over.
