Every year as part of the NFL combine, they administer an intelligence test to every draftee. You may have heard of the test – the Wonderlic. Basically, you have 12 minutes to answer 50 questions. Some are really easy and some are a bit tougher or require some math. You can take a 15 question sample here (Updated link).
NFLDraftScout.com has a list of all the guys who took the test and what they scored. The majority of players scored between 15 and 30.
The guy that really caught my eye was Miami’s Frank Gore. Gore scored a 6. A 6!!
Take that practice test and see how you do. I’d be shocked if any of my readers get fewer than 10 out of 15.
Gore got 6 out of 50!
Folks at the U must be proud.
And to think they turned Bobby Washington away for academic reasons (and NC State took him).
ps. The highest score for an ACC guy was Heath Miller, who got a 39, the third best score listed.
