Here's some Wonderlic scores.

ProFootballWeekly.com - Low Wonderlic scores ding elite NFL prospects

"Peterson plays like a low-test guy," one NFL decision maker told PFW on the condition he remain anonymous, "but (if) he's in 'cat' (man-to-man) coverage in the NFL, it's not as big of an issue as it will be for offensive guys."

"He's a press corner," another longtime evaluator said. "His strong suit is that he can run and press. He won't play for the Patriots, where he's disguising coverage after coverage, but I still think he can be a No. 1 shutdown corner."

Note to self: NE CBs have to be smart

Charles Woodson scored a 15.5. Ty Law a 17. Not exactly rocket scientists either. His draft stock doesn't change a bit.

...and for a BB CB draftee (say that 5 times fast!), Asante Samuel scored a whopping 10.

Just like any other measurement, the Wonderlic is more relevant for some positions than others.

I'm not suggesting the Wonderlic is everything. But man, Jake Locker has had a rough year.

As for McElroy's reported 48 now being a 43, it was reported early on that it would be impossible for the score to be known that early, while another AFC source said it might be possible to know. What we do know is the original source, Clarence E. Hill, Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, was wrong.

From OP's article.
"Alabama QB Greg McElroy registered the top score, correctly answering 43 of the 49 questions he attempted. He was followed by Boston College OT Anthony Castonzo (41), Baylor OG Danny Watkins (40), Wisconsin QB Scott Tolzien (38), Idaho QB Nathan Enderle (38), Central Michigan ILB Nick Bellore (36), Portland State TE Julius Thomas (35), Florida State QB Christian Ponder (35), Michigan OG Steve Schilling (35) and Nebraska CB Prince Amukamara (35)."

So McElroy is a genius huh. Does this push him up draft boards or was this pretty much expected? Interesting to see that Castonzo and Watkins scored super-smart too. Those guys might be on the Pats' radar.

It was expected for McElroy. There are questions about his athleticism, but I think the consensus would agree he makes pretty good decisions on the field, though some would argue part of that is the superior cast he's been fortunate enough to play with.

In addition, he graduated in 3 years with a degree in business marketing with a 3.86 GPA, and was in his second year of graduate school. The Sporting News also named him one of the 20 smartest athletes.
