Mrs. Jenny LBOH Engel stated a coupleof weeks ago that the Cowboys luved them some Blaylock

how do you get a 4 on a test, lol?

Thats what I want to know. I've seen that test. You get a 4 for just using a number 2 pencil.

Could that be an all time low score? I wonder if anyone has done worse. How one continues to stay eligible in college with that sort of intelligence level is beyond me. Oh wait - at Auburn you take one of those special classes with professor Petee.

Does anybody HONESTLY put too much stock in this?

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

I believe this a repost...

Well why do you think they administer these tests year after year? To kill time? To screw with the players' minds? Even the Army subjects new recruits to IQ tests. And I've had to take "personality profile" tests at a number of job interviews over the years.

You mean besides the NFL teams?

The place more value on the test for some positions, while others it is less of an issue.

Ever wonder why some players are more prone to "mental errors?"

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Vince Young's 16 Wonderlic score didn't prevent the Titans from taking him high last year

there are many things NFL teams take into account when looking at players, the Wonderlic is one of them, but it is never the over-bearing factor

 

[the kid 05]

wasn't Auburn just rated in the top ten party schools of the nation?

 

[zeroburrito]

um..4 is mentally challenged. i don't know how he can actually play football. he has to know to dodge players when they are coming after him.

 

[Paniolo22]

He also needs to know what color our team is. I mean, what if we played the Colts and he got the colors mixed up.

I am impressed.......wow

I know Bo Smith (who tied for the worst score) as he is from my home town, played high school ball here, and used to run with my niece. He has struggled with dyslexia and other learning disabilities all his life which would explain the low score. He is not a bad kid and is very physically gifted, but was always enrolled in Special Education classes. It makes me wonder how many of these kids are labeled as “dumb” when in reality they are dealing with learning disabilities.

I'd like to think that Daniel Sepulveda will be a very good punter in this league, but that could be just the homer in me talking.

Then again, I don't know how much you'd classify a punter as being something.
