Xavier Woods scored a 39 on the Wonderlic

[TheFinisher]

That's incredible, I had read he turned down an offer from Stanford to stay close to come in LA. Anyone know what his college major was?

Doesn't surprise me at all he was so productive, Safety is an extremely cerebral position, 39 has gotta be 99%-ile

I think the "dumbest" one of the top five guys taken was Ryan Switzer, and he's far from dumb. All five are very cerebral guys.

I'm a huge believer in this. Of course, they have to be great athletes, but guys that can think make a lot fewer bad plays.

Jaylon Smith is another smart guy to add, too.

A great example is Church and Wilcox. Wilcox is a far better athlete than Church, but Church is a smart dude and did the right things. Wilcox played like a mental midget far too often, and he hurt the team with silly mistakes in coverage constantly that his athleticism couldn't cover up.

He shall be known now as Professor X

His very high football IQ was one of the reasons why i got on his bandwagon back when the college football season was still going on. Also remember reading that hes not afraid to be a vocal leader on the field. Gonna need one now that Church is gone.

Woods is a player that should have been draft 2-3 rounds earlier,,, our steal of the draft.

As long as we dont have to live through the pains of watching Heath play safety, I will be very happy.

Choosing La tech over Stanford can't be smart.

I like the guy and we're lucky to get him. He has a chance to play a lot.

I guess that's an upgrade from Mo Claiborne's score

I'm curious as to why you're so down on Jeff Heath playing safety?

Yeah, he beat that score by spelling his own name correctly.

Erase your mind of his rookie performance against Megatron.

Since then, the dude has gotten better and better and better. He has more interceptions than anyone in the secondary the past two years in limited time.

He's got size and speed, he hits hard, and he's rangy in coverage. He's a good player that we just haven't given the proper consideration to yet.

The coaches love him.

Why?

 

[Typhus]

Why?

Guess its my opinion, but time will always be the one element that proves that correct, or wrong.
This was a very deep draft for DBs, so DBs like Woods slip in those situations.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

So he's like the anti Claiborne

Yep. Richard Sherman and Josh Norman were both 5th-round picks.

X is very smart. A 39 on the Wonderlic is the very, very top end of the curve.

Louisiana Tech is good school, Tier One according to all of the rankings. If he could stay at home and have his family able to see him play, why not? One thing to say for X, he has always won and brings a winning attitude. At West Monroe High School he won a State Title and I think only lost a few games in four years. At La Tech he won three bowl games and over 32 games total. Now he brings his winning attitude to Dallas.

It's the Calvin Johnson issue. Lol the Heath haters always go back to that. He's gotten better every year

 

[DallasDomination]

I scored a 2..the test is total bs, I'm the smartest person I know.

 

[Doomsday101]

I'm really excited to see this kid on the field. Kid can bring the wood but also shows himself as a ball hawk.
