If you've never heard of the Wonderlic, it's an exam given to players entering the NFL draft every year. You can take a simulated Wonderlic test here. It's comprised of 50 questions. Players have 12 minutes to complete the test. The average score (out of 50) is a 21.Vince Young (above) made headlines last year when it was rumored that he scored a 6. St. Louis' QB Ryan Fitzpatrick scored a 50, and he's nothing more than a backup quarterback. Some sample scores of other players include: Drew Bledsoe = 37; Steve Young = 33; John Elway = 30; Brett Favre = 22, Dan Marino = 16; Deltha O'Neal = 15; Donovan McNabb =14.
I'm not saying Vince Young is dumb (he may have had an attitude problem last season). But according to Wonderlic, a thumbtack is sharper than Young. However, like with any test, the Wonderlic has its pros and cons. Read more about it here.
Did I mention I got a 33?
