KD in CA Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Isn't it a multiple choice test? Even if they penalize for wrong answers, it's hard to fathom how that is even possible assuming you answered at random. Maybe he hasn't mastered the art of filling in an oval. Or he just doesn't give a stojan. Or both.

DC Grid Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Dude can't read or doesn't care. Either way the Bills should avoid like the plague. Statistically he should have scored better just filling in all As.

Is that real? Doesn't that make him legally retarded or something? Well if he ends up busting in the NFL, he can always collect disability... Edited April 3, 2012 by Turbosrrgood
TheBlackMamba Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) Who cares? He's a cornerback, not a QB or Center or MLB, who makes calls or adjustments. As long as he runs a 4.4 and can cover the other teams best receiver, I'll take him on my team all day. Edited April 3, 2012 by TheBlackMamba
JPS Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I want say "so what"....but a 4?!! I think the Waterboy got a 5.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Not to defend him, because a 4 is really embarrassing, but the fact that the test is timed may have something to do with it. He might have a slow reading comprehension and only got through a handful of questions to begin with. Remember, your Wonderlic score isn't a percentage, its how many questions you got right in 12 minutes.

As long as he runs a 4.4 and can cover the other teams best receiver, I'll take him on my team all day. Yeah, but c'mon...a 4 !! That eventually has to blossom into something not so pretty...wouldn't ya think?
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Wait, but he's a college man, right? What a joke.

Hapless Bills Fan Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Not to defend him, because a 4 is really embarrassing, but the fact that the test is timed may have something to do with it. He might have a slow reading comprehension and only got through a handful of questions to begin with. Remember, your Wonderlic score isn't a percentage, its how many questions you got right in 12 minutes. The question is, can he read and comprehend a playbook in a realistic period of time? (or a contract, or anything else needed to function in life?) This looks like fraud for a guy to get a high-school and college degree. Something is goofy there.
NoSaint Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Who cares? He's a cornerback, not a QB or Center or MLB, who makes calls or adjustments. As long as he runs a 4.4 and can cover the other teams best receiver, I'll take him on my team all day. Very true also. But there are very few "island" corners- at somepoint he needs to learn a playbook and reads to make. Intelligence isn't as big as instinct if his instincts are great, but it's a flag.
cody Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Is this score bad enough for him to fall to #10? dis make me go Bills? (edited so the honey-badger could read it)
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Is this score bad enough for him to fall to #10? dis make me go Bills? (edited so the honey-badger could read it) Different guy.
BillsGuyInMalta Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 That's still an issue. Obviously something is wrong. I don't disagree, but there is a huge difference between having a reading disability and being dumb/lazy. I'd like to know more about this kid's background before I jump on the "You gots a 4, lolz!" bandwagon. But save me a seat, just in case.
It's in My Blood Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Is this score bad enough for him to fall to #10? dis make me go Bills? (edited so the honey-badger could read it) You obviously wouldn't score much higher. Claiborne is not nicknamed "honey badger". That would be T. Mathieu
atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 This is sad. Can teams ask him to read for them? I mean at the combine they all got a chance to interview him. I know with QB's they usually make them do film study and even 'chalk time'. So either- A.He can not read/'slow' OR B. He didn't try. If he slips to 10 i think you gotta let him keep going?
The Senator Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Wow...so in addition to having a torn-up wrist and being a bit on the slow side physically (ranked 10th among CBs in the 40 at NFL combine), dude's pretty stupid too.
