The thread is about Keith Rivers not Cromartie. I bet his IQ is higher than yours.
Reportedly only got a 16 on his Wonderlic.
Wonderlic is and always has been a joke. It also is highly irrelevant as to football IQ. That's why the Patriots like most teams don't pay it any intention and give there own IQ tests. People who talk about the wonderlic usually are media members with agendas.
Keith Rivers is highly intelligent and very instinctive but don't let the facts get in the way of a personal argument.
SCOUTS INC. Report
Strengths: Possesses outstanding size; is well built for his taller frame. Also has long arms (33 ), huge hands (11 ) and a strong upper body (24 reps). Not an elite athlete, but he does have good speed and athleticism for his size.
Makes up for what he lack in terms of elite athleticism with great recognition skills. He is smart, tough and instinctive. Shows very good awareness. Rarely takes false steps. Is a striker as a tackler. Will make some big hits due to his short area explosiveness. Uses hands well to keep off of blocks. He refuses to stay blocked.
Takes excellent angles in pursuit. Displays good range in zone coverage. Also is an underrated pass rusher. Has developed a better array of pass rush moves, hugs the rail as he turns the corner as an outside rusher and displays surprising closing burst to the QB.
Knows how to jar the ball loose and generates more than his share of forced fumbles. Plays with a very good motor and will wear blockers down. Never gives up on a play and will show tremendous effort when pursuing from the backside. He's always flying around the field.
Leads by example.
