So a 15 score is where the Hall of Fame guys will be found. Good to know
Some might say that Wonderlic has nothing to do with predicting QB success in the league.
Andrew Luck didn’t come close to perfect score and he went to Stanford. My daughter was invited to a recruitment pitch on campus at Stanford along with about 50 kids from around the nation. Intimidating the academic perfection they required from their recruits. Why didn’t Luck score almost 50?

The pro game is so fast. There is another mental factor at work besides the kind of intelligence wonderlic measures. A kind of quick twitch mental agility. Don't know how you would measure that.

I don't put any stock in the wonderlic now with Kaepernick getting a 38.
I did one about a month back, ran out of time; got 37.
Did this one:
The first one, I still had 3 questions left; this one, the last question popped up and the timer ran out as I was about to answer it.
Thus, I feel that I would be a great TE, DE or Olineman (brainwise), as the intelligence is there, but the thought process is a tad slow (bringing me out of the running for QB or LB).
Like the 40, the Wonderlic is a piece of the puzzle and by no means the answer. If the guy looks bad on film, because he's smart on a piece of paper doesn't really mean much. I always found the combine to be one giant waste of time. Film tells all, teams only go there to meet the guys face to face and see how they do on the white board and if have a reasonable amount of social skills. The underwear olympics are for advertisers on NFL Network.

Just because he's a nut, doesn't mean he isn't smart.
Like what Screech said in Saved by the Bell; "Zac may be lazy, but he's no idiot!"
Anyone that says Fidel Castro is better than the USA or Canada (Truck shoutout) is not a super intelligent guy....

Again, he's just a nut, doing things for publicity.
I HIGHLY doubt he believes his own words (at least, that specific line)

Yep...a lot of folks weren't watching LSU close the season. A quote I heard on Mo's show from one analyst (sorry, forget who) said something to the effect of "the guy has not played an average game in 20 starts". He said he was excellent in his last 20 starts without one average game. That's pretty damn impressive, considering his competition.
As I understand it, he really took off when the coaches started giving him more to digest. They admitted that they held back a bit in the beginning because they didn't want to overwhelm him. Another sign of his intelligence.
Oh, and I believe he scored a 36 on the Wunderlich. A lot of people, including me, could care less about this unless you do really, really poorly. I heard Tua got a 13. Ouch.
