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.

No penalty for guessing. Odds are, if the leak is true, he can't read

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.

Ohhhhhkayyyy

 

He can STILL tie his own shoes....right?

 

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...

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.

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.

Yeah, but c'mon...a 4 !! That eventually has to blossom into something not so pretty...wouldn't ya think?

That's still an issue. Obviously something is wrong.

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.

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.

Is this score bad enough for him to fall to #10?

 

dis make me go Bills? (edited so the honey-badger could read it)

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.

You obviously wouldn't score much higher. Claiborne is not nicknamed "honey badger". That would be T. Mathieu

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?
