2018 Quarterbacks Wonderlic

It is an outdated concept for football and has been proven time and time again that a QB's ability to play football has no correlation to Wonderlic test scores. Crappy QB's score super high all the time on it and good QB's score low, there is no reason it should even be used anymore. I have seen there is a new test that is more based in football that has been given over the last few years that does have a correlation but those scores don't get leaked as they are privately contracted by teams not a general test given at the combine.

AIQ or Athletic Intelligence Quotient. Dr. Scott Goldman and Dr. Jim Bowman have spent the last 15 years developing the exam, administered on a touchscreen and intended to improve upon the methodology of the Wonderlic test, the longtime benchmark for intelligence testing at the combine still in use today.

Goldman declined to confirm the performance of specific players, but did acknowledge a QB prospect this year scored in the Top 100 on the AIQ all-time—out of more than 4,000 tests—and is the second-highest scoring quarterback out of 63 who have taken the test since 2012. Two league sources, who asked for anonymity to discuss the testing results of a prospect, confirmed it was Mayfield.

Just an FYI
