that's like saying an accountant ran a 5.9 40. some might consider it

Not really. Tackles have to be at least football smart.

Football smart

so back to my original point. the wonderlic is almost entirely meaningless

smokymountainrain

Depends on the position

I think offensive lineman normally have the highest scores.

Punters & O tackles had trend Where they were the highest. May have changed

and has essentially nothing to do with determining how good a NFL player

Generally speaking, OL are typically the smartest players after the QB

Jesse Pinkman

Which is exactly why they administer the test.

I think he will be a bust. To much hype, not enough

I wonder if that was part of the reason he couldn't keep his penalties down.

Chambana Coug

I misspelled a dude's name?!

i'll admit I chuckled at his score but it's hard to support your lame
