Typical TBD Guy Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 The Wonderlic is a crude measure of how fast one processes information. But the problem with applying this test to football is that, like in any "subject," some people may be faster at processing certain types of information over others. So for example: Wire may be great at dealing with words and numbers and general knowledge - so he does well on the SAT's, Wonderlic, etc... But put the guy out in the secondary, and he can't process information (routes, formations, football X's and O's stuff) worth sh--. Jason Peters is a good example of the opposite. !@#$ing dumb as a rock in the classroom, but already he's picking up a new football position (and an allegedly very cognitive one at that...OL's, along with QB's, tend to have the highest Wonderlics) and just forced a #4 overall pick out of town. Go figure...
