Dat Dude Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 No penalty for guessing. Odds are, if the leak is true, he can't read
Estelle Getty Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Hey it's better than a 3...but im not sure he would know that
2003Contenders Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 All teams (including the Bills) do a thorough amount of homework on each of these players. If they suspect that the kid has learning disabilities, they will investigate. There could be any number of reasons why he recorded such a poor score (if this report is true). Remember when JP left because he had to pee? Fitz recorded a nearly perfect score on his test (I think it was 49 out of 50), while both Jim Kelly and Dan Marino, I believe, scored under 20. Who would you rather have quarterbacking your team?
papazoid Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Coach: "morris, see that guy over there, in a different color uniform than ours......don't let em catch the ball" Morris: "ok coach" the NCAA is a joke.....a sham.....totally corrupted....all they care is about the money....
Malazan Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I'd be happy to jump on the lulz bandwagon here, but the wonderlic gets a 4 on the useful scale
richNjoisy Posted April 3, 2012 Author Posted April 3, 2012 Right but 1/5 for 20 questions is a 4 Ummmmmmmmmm It consists of 50 multiple choice questions to be answered in 12 minutes Say guessing should land him a 10 And leave him with 11 minutes to actually try to read a few of the questions It is really hard to imagine he is able to read. I think reading means a high enough intelligence to score at least an 8. Oh God, please don't tell me he has a driver's license Of course if he drinks enough, it won't matter... Gulp
DC Tom Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I could be clinically dead and still do better than a 4.
Kelly the Dog Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 the NCAA is a joke.....a sham.....totally corrupted....all they care is about the money.... Both NCAA football players and all NCAA athletes as a whole have higher graduation rates than the general college population. In fact, in 2010 (it was the first article I read when I googled to find a link) 69% of Division I NCAA football graduated. http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/2010-10-27-ncaa-graduation-rates-study_N.htm
T master Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 http://espn.go.com/page2/s/closer/020228test.html for example questions http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/03/claiborne-gives-birth-to-a-four-on-the-wonderlic/ for the report on this Ohhhhhkayyyy He can STILL tie his own shoes....right? That's not saying a bunch for the College institution that he came from !! So much for higher education in our educational system !! Where's the Dept. of Education when you need them ??
Billsrhody Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I just tried to find an interview with Claiborne so I could see how well he speaks and was surprised to find absolutely nothing on youtube or through google... This kid is a Top 5 pick and there are no interviews of him? I wonder if the "Claiborne Camp" is keeping all of that stuff under wraps because it could hurt his draft stock.. I remember watching an interview of Leodis McKelvin after the bills drafted him and being like

It's hard to find something that verifies it because people don't like to announce those things.
BILLS_ROC Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) If you don't think stupid matters as DB, let's have a look at Leodis McKelvin who people seem to think has all of the physical tools. He's made some down right dumb decisions on the field costing the Bills wins more than once. From what I have found, his Wonderlic score was a 13/34. Link Not to mention, when he speaks during a press conference, he sounds like a dirt bike race... if he's having a smart day, you might be able to distinguish an actual word coming out of his mouth.

KOKBILLS Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 No penalty for guessing. Odds are, if the leak is true, he can't read Exactly...
rocwocka Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 (edited) I'm not saying that I don't find that score alarming, but I remember hearing that Tracy Porter got a 4 on the Wonderlic. I think I heard about it the week before the Saints/Vikings NFC championship game. So, what did he do? He caused a fumble then later intercepted Favre in the 4th quarter to send the game into OT, which the Saints won. In a tight Super Bowl contest, the difference was Tracy Porter's interception returned for a TD. Wonderlic doesn't translate to Football sense, as far as I can see. Edited April 3, 2012 by rocwocka
Turbosrrgood Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I wonder if the leak wasn't by a team in the bottom half of the the top 10-12 hoping to make him fall to them. The whole point this test is to evaluate these players before the draft. GM's will see the real numbers, they don't need "leaks".
Mr. WEO Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 I have always heard that Leodis has a speech impediment. It's hard to find something that verifies it because people don't like to announce those things. Well, then who have you always heard it from? Anyway, this Claiborne kid figured he would treat the test the same way he has treated every test he has ever taken--with complete apathy, becasue if he has learned anything in HS and college, it is that for guys like him, test scores will never matter. He knows the wonderlic will not change his future.
Biscuit97 Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Wait, but he's a college man, right? What a joke. +10

Come on Kelly, you're better than that!

He knows the wonderlic will not change his future. which in and of itself speaks volumes to his pride in how he presents himself, and does he do the right thing when it shouldnt make a difference.... and that does matter for most at the next level...
bladiebla Posted April 3, 2012 Posted April 3, 2012 Conclusion; will fit in nicely with Leodis McKelvin.
