LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne scored a four on the Wonderlic test

[BullheadCardFan]

The NFL has kept the Wonderlic results under tighter wraps than usual this year. Or maybe the media has had enough other things to keep itself occupied.

Regardless, the first eye-opening score has leaked from the 2012 edition of the 50-question Wonderlic test. Per multiple league sources, LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne scored a four.

Yes. A four. Out of 50.

He's not a QB so who cares. He's a DB, all I care about is can he swivel his hips and run really fast?

I don't think PP did too well on the test either. I can tell by the way he speaks.

If everyone just thinks of these people as modern day gladiators and nothing more, then we wouldn't be surprised.

I guess its the fact that they make millions even though some are dumber than a rock that people are annoyed.

What are you talking about? PP is TWICE as smart as Claiborne

My 10-year-old could score higher than a 4.

I thought writing your name correctly at the top of the sheet was worth at least 6 points.

(Note - It was once said of Terry Bradshaw that he'd be unable to spell "cat" if you spotted him the "C" and the "T").

There should be a reason why don't I find that more surprising than I do.

Yeah by a coked up Hollywood Henderson, the guy used to use during games and was also a sex offender, I think. You may want to consider the source.

 

[Longcolts]

The sex offender from that team was Lance Rentzel, who was married to Joey Heatherton.

Good for him, can't be easy being mentally retraded and playing college football.

He has had a learning disability diagnosed in early high school that effects his ability to read. College knew about when he was given a scholarship to LSU and teams know about it prior to combine and taking the test.

Sometimes in those situations the test is read to the person who has the disability or they are given extended time for completion. Dyslexic kids for instance. Or Rodney Dangerfield in Back to School. "Four?"

 

[Southpaw]

Just wondering how he got admitted to LSU and was academically a junior.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

Seriously.

This should effect his draft status. I mean how stupid do you have to be, do you hear me picks 1 thru 12.

You can't miss on these picks you know. How can you justify picking someone in the first 12 spots that obviously cannot think.

You can't. So, I guess he will just have for free fall through the draft.

Let the Cardinals take him, we don't know what we are doing anyway right ? Just let us take it, and make that big mistake.

 

[MigratingOsprey]

heh ........ looks like someone read the study on wonderlic & nfl performance .... showing that for the bulk of the players there was no correlation between the scoring and their performance

however, for TEs & CBs there was a negative correlation ...... basically the lower the score, the better the performance

Your 10-year-old is already smarter than most SEC athletes.

Hey a new TV Game show: Are you smarter than an SEC athlete!

 

[WildBB]

Hey a new TV Game show: Are you smarter than an SEC athlete!

I know half the 5th graders are.

Too many free rides in major programs. It has to be addressed. No more camp counciling majors!

 

[crisper57]

Hey a new TV Game show: Are you smarter than an SEC athlete!

Question number one: Are you now or have you ever been an SEC athlete?

"No, I am not."

You win!

I have a client whose son is one of the starting Tackles for a WAC team. He told me most of the football players are Kinesiology majors. Said it is a pre-coaching major!

PP scored a 9. I wonder sometime how some of these SEC schools keep their student athletes in school.

That said, I don't care about the wonderlic especially at the CB position where athleticism is by far the most important aspect, followed by discipline.

 

[Darkside]

I still don't understand how anyone can get a 4 (or a 9). It seems as if random chance would dictate a higher score. You should accidentally score higher than 4. I mean, a 4 is only 4 points higher than what a rock would score.

I guess the annoyed people need to hit the gym and do something about it then. Nobody says anything about CEOs being unathletic...
