Wanderbra? No Dummy Wonderlic


Wonderlic as in the "Wonderlic Test". The famous test that Vince Young could care less about. And why not? He was drafted 3rd overall even after it was leaked Young scored a 6. What does that score mean? It means out of 50 questions on the test he got 6 correct. The test isn't multiple choice so he couldn't just pick circle A and get 25% of the questions correct.

They say smart people score in the low 30's. Most NFL QBs score in the high 20's to low 30's. Does anyone ace the test? Why yes. Why yes and that player just so happens to be from the great state of Utah. Mr. Kevin Curtis from Utah St. He scored a 50. While he was with the Rams he caught a TD pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick, a Haaaaavard man, who scored in the high 40's on his test making that the highest Wonderlic pass in the history of the NFL.

The Wonderlic Test is administered at the NFL scouting combine along with all the other physical testing that gets done. If a player doesn't want to participate in the drills he simply puts on his sweatshirt signifying he won't be involved. We all wonder why Vince Young didn't put the sweatshirt on for the Wonderlic.

In honor of the impending draft we will be administering the test, albeit not full test on this blog. The full test is 50 questions last only 12 minutes. Our football crucible test will be 12 questions long which means participants only have 3 minutes to complete the test. I did round up on the time allowed so get your number 2 pencils and stopwatch out.

In a future edition of Football Crucible the answers will be posted so keep coming back everyday for your chance to find the answers.
