    Joe Theisman said (Today's Dan Patrick show) that this test is more of reading comprehension than an aptitude test.

    I think JT is a putz but happen to agree with his theory. Thoughts?

    The test questions I saw were very much "reading comprehension" oriented. Some players who have dyslexia or certain reading disabilities have trouble with the test, probably because it's timed. Javon Walker and Nick Collins both had trouble with the test because of slight learning disabilities that cause problems with these kinds of tests.

    I'm guessing even the players who scored the lowest could post great scores if they were given unlimited time to take the test.
