    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The official results of the Wonderlic test, which was administered at the combine, have been made available. Although there's no Vince Young-gate to report, there are some interesting scores, nonetheless. A year ago, five players (Syracuse DE Kader Drame, Alabama ILB Freddie Roach, Louisville DT Montavious Stanley, NC State TE T.J. Williams and Oklahoma CB Chijioke Onyenegecha) tied for the worst score (8). The dubious distinction in 2007 goes to Auburn CB David Irons and Weber State S Bo Smith, who each scored 4 out of 50 on the test. The highest score in this year's class was a 41 (Texas G Justin Blalock), and only eight of the 326 players who took the test (at least once) scored a 10 or lower. Here's a look at the best and worst from this year's Wonderlic results: Best 10 scores1. Justin Blalock, G, Texas (41)2. Anthony Pudewell, TE, Nevada (39)3. Kody Bliss, PK, Auburn (38)T-4. Jon Cornish, RB, Kansas (37)T-4. Brandon Harrison, S, Stanford (37)T-6. Scott Chandler, TE, Iowa (36)T-6. Daniel Sepulveda, PT, Baylor (36)T-6. Jared Zabransky, QB, Boise State (36)9.

    I don't.You listen to Vince Young talk for 5 minutes and you'll come away thinking he's retarded so the Wonderlic was just about right on there. But at the same time, nobody ever said you have to be a Genius to play in the NFL. It's just one part of the equation.

    They couldn't of come up with a list filled with more players I've never heard of before. Therefor I think this list is real.

The difficulty comes in when you realize that they have 12 minutes to answer 50 Questions so they have to be able to Read and Answer a Question on an average of 14.4 Seconds Per Question. It measures is a player's ability to read and comprehend information quickly.The other thing with the Wonderlic exam, is it is a test where it's questions change depending on the job field that you are taking it for. The Wonderlic you 'took' was probably a rather generic version whereas the one the players took have more NFL related Questions on it. The version the a Chemist would take is much different then the version an Football Player would take, ect.
