Hakeem Nicks

Seems the wide receiving corps is especially stupid this year. Michael Crabtree of Texas Tech scored a 15, Darrius Heyward-Bey of Maryland scored a 14, and Percy Harvin of Florida scored a 12. Not real good. But don't worry, there was someone who was worse. Hakeem Nicks of UNC wowed everyone with an 11. A score of 10 suggests a person is literate, so at least all of the receivers can read this, I hope.

Dwight Jones will score a 2 (and graduate from UNC-CH with a 3.5 GPA).

 

Maclin scored a 25.

If those results that were leaked are accurate, it doesn't really matter. They're paid on playing football, not by their brains, the players know that so take the test because they have to, and don't really give a damn about it.

Marino and Bradshaw scored a 15 - Bruce Eugene scored a nice 40.

 

vince young.

Georgia's Matthew Stafford stands out with NFL Wonderlic score

A poor score on the Wonderlic test can threaten a player's draft stock. The test, which measures problem-solving ability, features 50 questions and a 12-minute time limit. Test-takers are given one point for each correct answer. This year no player hurt himself terribly with a poor Wonderlic score. Here are some of the more interesting results.

Quarterbacks: With his pro day workout last week, Georgia's Matthew Stafford showed himself to be in a class by himself, and he also was in a class by himself among the top quarterbacks with regards to the Wonderlic. He scored 38. USC's Mark Sanchez scored 28 and Kansas State's Josh Freeman 27. All are acceptable scores for quarterbacks.

Wide receivers: NFL teams would like for receivers' test scores to be about 18, but several of the top prospects fell below that mark. Michael Crabtree of Texas Tech scored 15, Darrius Heyward-Bey of Maryland scored 14, Percy Harvin of Florida scored 12 and Hakeem Nicks of North Carolina scored 11. The test result is particularly interesting in the case of Harvin, who will have more learning to do than the others based on the offense he played in at Florida and the fact he could be used in multiple roles. Jeremy Maclin of Missouri was outstanding by comparison with a 25 test score.

Offensive tackles: None of the tackles were too far off the acceptable mark. Andre Smith of Alabama scored 17, which is borderline. Faring much better was Arizona's Eben Britton with 31. Others: Eugene Monroe of Virginia had 24, Jason Smith of Baylor 23 and Michael Oher of Mississippi 19.

Linebackers: Three linebackers from USC could be chosen in the first round, but probably not in the order of their Wonderlic scores. Clay Matthews scored 27, Brian Cushing 23 and Rey Maualuga 15. Maualuga's score is slightly troubling considering he likely will be a middle linebacker who is asked to call the defenses.

Defensive backs: Two scores stood out. Maryland cornerback Kevin Barnes scored 41, and Western Michigan safety Louis Delmas scored 12. One front office man said he was not concerned about Delmas' score because he plays smart. Delmas still could be the first safety chosen.

 

Andre Smith's score doesn't "hurt" him, but will that ************ do anything right? He's gone nothing but downhill every step of the way after being an assumed top 5 pick.

 

Dexter Manley scored 39

 

Agreed.

 

to a point it's a matter of ideal - you're supposed to prepare for the draft and that's your focus. To be so poor for a test you could've prepared for months to take, I don't get that. I would guess someone somewhere would put a practice test in front of some of these dumbasses and at least explain how it works. That's gotta be worth 20 points by itself.

I don't expect a tackle to run a 4.4, or a receiver to bench 700 lbs, but fucking try at some of this. The hard workers more often than not do translate over.

 

that's the premise, when you have an agent in your ear 24-7 telling you you'll be the next Jerry Rice or Montana and talk about on the field things, the kids see past all the off the field stuff. it's the monster the NFL created
