Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 http://www.bendomenech.com/blog/archives/001444.html March 22, 2004 Wonderlic Welcome to Proctorville Iowa Home of the National Testing Center Controlling Your Destiny Since 1925 With the NFL Draft coming up ("no hon, there is no offseason"), it's time to take your Wonderlics again. It's just a fancy name for a fairly standard IQ test - the catch being that it's only 50 questions, but you have to complete it in 12 minutes. And the dumb jock stereotype doesn't fit here, either: the average NFL score is higher than the national average, according to Wonderlic, Inc. For the addicts, I've attached the scores below. WRs Larry Fitzgerald, Pittsburgh - 18 Roy Williams, Texas - 17 Rashaun Woods, Oklahoma State - 21 Reggie Williams, Washington - 17 Lee Evans, Wisconsin - 27 Michael Clayton, LSU - 19 Michael Jenkins, Ohio State - 20 Devery Henderson, LSU - 17 Keary Colbert, Southern Cal - 21 Ernest Wilford, Virginia Tech - 19 Bernard Berrian, Fresno State - 20 QBs Eli Manning, Mississippi - 39 Ben Roethlisberger, Miami (OH) - 25 Philip Rivers, North Carolina State - 30 J.P. Losman, Tulane - 31 Cody Pickett, Washington - 19 Matt Schaub, Virginia - 30 John Navarre, Michigan - 24 Josh Harris, Bowling Green - 25 Casey Clausen, Tennessee - 20 Jeff Smoker, Michigan State - 23 Jason Fife, Oregon - 26 Matt Mauck, LSU - 30 Eli Roberson, Kansas State - 11 B.J. Symons, Texas Tech - 22 Jared Lorenzen, Kentucky - 28 Bradlee Van Pelt, Colorado State - 25 Rod Rutherford, Pittsburgh - 17 TEs Ben Watson, Georgia - 41 Kellen Winslow, Miami - 12 Ben Troupe, Florida - not listed Ben Utecht, Minnesota - 22 Ben Hartsock, Ohio State - 32 Jason Peters, Arkansas - 9 Jeff Dugan, Maryland - 24 Sean Ryan, Boston College - 35 Chris Cooley, Utah State - 32 Tim Euhus, Oregon State - 34 RBs Steven Jackson, Oregon State - 28 Kevin Jones, Virginia Tech - 15 Chris Perry, Michigan - 20 Greg Jones, Florida State - 25 Tatum Bell, Oklahoma State - 18 Julius Jones, Notre Dame - 16 Michael Turner, Northern Illinois - 35 Maurice Clarett, Ohio State - 20 Fred Russell, Iowa - 9 Mewelde Moore, Tulane - 19 Cedric Cobbs, Arkansas - 14 Jarrett Payton, Miami (FL) - 12 Guards Vernon Carey, Miami (FL) - 18 Chris Snee, Boston College - 19 Steve Peterman, LSU - 20 Justin Smiley, Alabama - 21 Sean Locklear, North Carolina State - 19 Adrien Clarke, Ohio State - 24 Shannon Snell, Florida - 28 Alan Reuber, Texas AM (T) - 24 Jacob Bell, Miami (OH) - 22 Anthonly Herrera, Tennessee - 23 Antonio Hall, Kentucky - 20 Tackles Robert Gallery, Iowa - 23 Shawns Andrews, Arkansas - 20 Kelly Butler, Purdue - 29 Nat Dorsey, Georgia Tech - 35 Jacob Rogers, Southern Cal - 29 Carlos Joseph, Miami (FL) - 7 Tony Pape, Michigan - 23 Mark Wilson, California - 30 Kirk Chambers, Stanford - 29 Max Starks, Florida (OG) - 35 Travelle Wharton, South Carolina - 12 Sean Bubin, Illinois - 24 Shane Olivea, Ohio State - 18 Brian Rimpf, East Carolina - 35 Adrian Jones, Kansas - 17 Stacey Andrews, Mississippi - 15 LBs D.J. Williams Miami (FL) - 21 Karlso Dansby, Auburn - 15 Daryl Smith, Georgia Tech - 13 Teddy Lehman, Oklahoma - 39 Dontarrious Thomas, Auburn - 24 Michael Boulware, Florida State - 24 Kendyll Pope, Florida State - 18 Keyaron Fox, Georgia Tech - 16 Demorrio Williams, Nebraska - 12 Courtney Watson, Notre Dame - 24 Bryan Hickman, Kansas State - 16 Jonathan Vilma, Miami (FL) - 23 Niko Koutouvides, Purdue - 28 Rod Davis, Southern Miss - 18 CBs DeAngelo Hall, Virginia Tech - 23 Chris Gamble, Ohio State - 9 Dunta Robinson, South Carolina - 13 Will Poole, Southern Cal - 14 Ahmad Carroll, Arkansas - 17 Derrick Strait, Oklahoma - 15 Ricardo Colclough, Tusculum - 11 Joey Thomas, Montana State - 19 Nathan Vasher, Texas - 13 Keiwan Ratliff, Florida - 18 Jeremy LeSueur, Michigan - 16 Keith Smith, McNeese State - 17 Vontez Duff, Notre Dame - 16 FS Sean Taylor, Miami (FL) - 10 Matt Ware, UCLA - 22 Stuart Schweigert, Purdue - 28 Jason Shivers, Arizona State - 14 Sean Jones, Georgia - 18 Brandon Everage, Oklahoma - 15 Will Allen, Ohio State - 13 DEs Will Smith, Ohio State - 23 Kenechi Udeze, Southern Cal - 18 Marquise Hill, LSU - 13 Antwan Odom, Alabama - 10 Darrion Scott, Ohio State - 12 Jason Babin, Western Michigan - 22 Isaac Hilton, Hampton - 23 Uyi Osunde, Connecticut - 21 Travis Laboy, Hawaii - 29 Shaun Phillips, Purdue - 17 Bo Schobel, TCU - 27 Andrew Shull, Kansas State - 21 Dave Ball, UCLA - 25 Bobby McCray, Florida - 14 Gabe Nyenhuis, Colorado - 7 DTs Tommie Harris, Oklahoma - 11 Vince Wilfork, Miami (FL) - 10 Marcus Tubbs, Texas - 21 Randy Starks, Maryland - 20 Darnell Dockett, Florida State - 17 Donnell Washington, Clemson - 8 Dwan Edwards, Oregon State - 29 Chad Lavalais, LSU - 10 Igor Olshansky, Oregon - 29 Isaac Sopoaga, Hawaii - 8 Matthias Askew, Michigan State - 10 Tank Johnson, Washington - 16 Darrell Campbell, Notre Dame - 21 Junior Siavii, Oregon - 15 Tim Anderson, Ohio State - 25 [Note that once again, it's the O-Linemen who are consistently the best - Why? Because they're also the most likely to have stayed in school for all four years.] Posted by Ben at March 22, 2004 08:09 PM
CajunBillsBacker Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Gabe Nyenhuis, Colorado - 7 Maybe he doesn't know how to spell his name?
Pete Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Our draftees were a very smart class. All of them. Peters was a FA. Anyone in single digits is dumb as a bag of bricks
UConn James Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Wasn't JP's a little low b/c he really had to pee? I thought I read some amusing article about this....
Pete Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Wasn't JP's a little low b/c he really had to pee? I thought I read some amusing article about this.... 218868[/snapback] 31 is rock solid. Very intelligent. I would love to see Drew's wonderlic I would bet money JP doubled it
gmac17 Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 sort of funny that the word wonderlic was misspelled on the title of the post...
sfladave Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Wasn't JP's a little low b/c he really had to pee? I thought I read some amusing article about this.... 218868[/snapback] I think the 1st time he took it he had to pee and he scored somewhere in the teens.
Happy Days Lois & Clark Posted January 26, 2005 Author Posted January 26, 2005 31 is rock solid. Very intelligent. I would love to see Drew's wonderlic I would bet money JP doubled it 218872[/snapback] Bledsoe scored a 37 Marino scored a 16 S Young a 33
UConn James Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 No, really. J.P. had to pee during it. (sift through the Bills-bashing). It's a fuggin' standardized test. Has as much bearing as SAT on how you're going to do in college. Read: not much.
Brandon Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 31 is rock solid. Very intelligent. I would love to see Drew's wonderlic I would bet money JP doubled it 218872[/snapback] You might want to reconsider that bet. Bledsoe scored a 37. A high wonderlic score is just like any other test score. It doesn't necessarily guarantee success on the field.

Bledsoe is a football retard
c-biscut Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Drews was 37 without having to pee the first time. When I didn't want to take a test in school, I'd fake sick. I should have gone with the I gutta pee thing.
c-biscut Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 wow! 37 is off the charts! Ben Watson had a 41 and highscore this year. You are right- it doesnt translate on the field. Bledsoe is a football retard 218881[/snapback] At 32 years old drew bledsoe is 198 yards shy of hitting 40,000 yards. 7th in all time passing yards. He's been to a SuperBowl, he's 3-4 in play offs games, he revitalized two NFL Franchises and has been to 4 Pro Bowls. He might not be the Bills QB of the future, but I'd hardly call him a bust or a football retard.

I would say not too high. I have met Vinnie. Very nice guy but not the sharpest tool in the shed. Anyways Vinnies numbers are higher then Drews. As far as being a football retard- I see it with my own eyes. How many times a game do I scream "what the fug are you doing Drew?". Definately makes lots of poor decisions. After 12 years in the league he makes an awful lot of rookie mistakes. He has zero football instincts. How about when Mo Lewis almost killed Drew? What the fug was Drew thinking on that play? It looked like he was dreaming in lala land on a casual stroll.

Ah nevermind.

Coach Tuesday Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Actually you can take a Wonderlic online - that would be an interesting event at TSW... Nice find with the Marino score bwt (16). My dad always said that Marino was a good right arm away from flipping pizzas at the Pittsburgh airport...

Take that for what its worth but I have heard that elsewhere too

Doubt he was looking like he was in Lala lind becasue Shawn Ellis had him wrapped up from behind and wasn't able to protect himself or get out of bounds. Much of Drews prolems stem from taking risks rather than playing it safe. true he makes some mistakes but he' also made some remarkable plays by standing in there a few seconds longer and taking the hit.

That would be GREAT fodder for the board during the off season. lol
