Packer Draft Pick's Wonderlics Test Scores

[Freak Out]

Re: Packer Draft Pick's Wonderlics Test Scores

Lots of these guys get low scores (on all teams).....I wonder what the percentage of players is that actually pays any attention at all in class!

I'm sure their coachs have smart kids go to class and take their tests for them.

Before people start piling on James Jons for his score, let me recall to everyone the gnashing of teeth over Javon Walker's poor wonderlic score when Shermy drafted him. Walker seemed to figure out the offense okay.

Where did you get those results from? I'd like to see what other prospects got as well.

So some of our guys may not even be smart enough to safely drive a forklift/powered industrial lift truck? Nice. I guess the best place for them is the field.

Yup--operating heavy machinery not required!

If I remember the premise of the Wonderlic test, it is more telling of someone's potential learning ability and problem solving. I don't think it has ever been a good indicator of football talent. I know when the do interviews with "some" of the players you know they can't read !

Then it's a good thing we didn't get Lynch. He likes driving the machinery on the field.

I'm interested with how our results are compared to other teams like New England who has the reputation as drafting smart players.

Merriweather is smart???

The Packers have had some score as low as 8.

Among those scoring 8 were: Marshall, Barry, Javon Walker, and that DT Donnell Washington.

If you are single digits on the Wonderlic you are barely functional in society. Michael Vick and Daunte Culpepper scored 14.

I would not trust a player under 15 unless he was a DT or RB.

Gaines Adams- 7
Marshawn Lynch- 8
Justin Blalock- 41 (This score was the highest in draft, not Gonzalez. Sorry.)
Chris Leak- 8
John Beck- 34
Scott Chandler- 36

And the winner of lowest score in this year's wonderlic are.........

David Irons out of Auburn and Bo Smith out of Weber State.

What is the magic number you say? It is............

4

What site are these from? I would like to see the entire class.

Not everybody's wonderlics are released. The Packer ones I got from JSO. The other ones I had to wander around for.

[Fritz]

Man. I haven't seen the actual test, but to get a four it almost seems like you'd have to try to screw it up.

Its my understanding that the test is very heavy on differential equations.
