In fact, Green does a great job of running routes, which suggests he understands the game and what he has to do. This score concerned some analysts before the draft, but it simply hasn't been a factor in the NFL.
Perhaps the NFL's smartest player, Peyton Manning came in a bit lower than would be expected comparatively speaking, anyway at This isn't a bad score by any means, but does it fit the manically audibling Manning that we know and love?
Sometimes, intelligence-test smarts and football smarts don't match up perfectly. That's not to say Manning is a dumb guy off the field, but if his football intellect and Wonderlic scores matched up, he would have aced the test.
Frank Gore has been diagnosed with a learning disability dyslexia , so his low score is expected. He remains an inspiration to many, though, as his disability has never hindered him on the football field.
San Francisco has been excellent in helping Gore learn the playbook, and he has put together a terrific career in the NFL. Does Gore's disability ever hurt him on the field? That's impossible to say; we can't really know what's going on in his head. But it certainly hasn't kept him from developing into one of the NFL's best running backs. This score isn't particularly surprising. Cam Newton isn't exactly a brainy quarterback, but he isn't stupid either, and his intelligence doesn't hinder him.
Though other positions take the test — offensive linemen usually have the highest scores , while running backs typically have the lowest — quarterbacks usually face more scrutiny for how they fare, and a bad score can cause a player to slide in the annual draft. Take Fitzpatrick, for example. With a score of 48, his Wonderlic mark is twice as good as the average quarterback score of In fact, with career touchdown passes compared to interceptions and a record as a starter of , the year-old is about as average as you can get.
But he has led a long and successful career despite no one expecting him to go that far, and his intelligence probably has something to do with it. The year-old quarterback scored a dead-average mark of 24 when he took the Wonderlic.
His problematic hip, on the other hand …. This article was featured in the InsideHook newsletter. Sign up now.

BamaFanatJSU said:. Now I can't confirm this, but I was under the impression that both of the Irons boys from the Barn made lower than Rosegreen. I'm not sure which one it was David or Kenny , but I remember hearing that one of them scored a 0 because he took one look at it and said, "This test is too hard" though probably not with grammatical correctness.
The other one reportedly answered the first question incorrectly and then gave up, earning him a score of Again, I can't confirm this, but it's what I heard. AlistarWills Registered. Jul 26, 3, Written on it was "made in a facility that processes nuts.

However, he was met with another controversy towards the end of when his father was accused of violating the rules of amateurism.

Fortunately, he was found innocent two days later; hence he was eligible to continue chasing his American Football dream. Due to his outstanding performance at the University of Auburn in , he won the Heisman Memorial Trophy, which is given only to the most valuable player.
