You can officially announce Matthew Stafford as the number one pick in this year’s NFL draft. The Wonderlic test is given at the NFL combine each year and measures problem-solving ability. The test contains 50 questions with a 12-minute time limit and is rarely completed. The best score you can get on the test is 50 and if you score a 20 then you are said to be of average intelligence. Stafford scored the highest score on this year’s Wonderlic test of any other quarterback with an impressive 38. USC’s Mark Sanchez scored 28 and Kansas State’s Josh Freeman scored a 27. Other scores were Maryland cornerback Kevin Barnes with an astounding 41, Texas Tech’s Michael Crabtree with a 15, USC linebacker Rey Maualuga scored a 15, Maryland receiver Darius Heyward-Bey scored a 14, Percy Harvin of Florida scored a 12, and North Carolina’s Hakeem Nicks scored a 11 which is one above literacy.
Wonderlic Test Results Are In…

I’m shocked how low the WR scores were! Harvin & Nicks with 12 & 11 — that is craziness! No Running Back scores yet? — rumor mill has it that Andre Brown scored single digits.
I guess the silver lining for some of these players, especially “Hakm Nx” is the Vince Young 6 and Chris Leak 8 from a couple of years ago.
Wonder of John Bunting pulled some strings to get Nicks to “qualify” for enrollment @ UNC? Geesh!
rumor mill is wrong. just can’t stand it that your beacon of higher education produced a ‘tater of nicks levels, so you automatically start throwing stones at something you have no idea about. way to go. and trust me, intelligence levels of football players over on the hill ain’t something you want to get in a stone throwing match over. but, you ought to know that, considering how close you are to the rumor mill
Thanks Mr. Washburn. I’m sure Andre did just fine on the test.
i don’t know if he did or not, the only thing i KNOW is nicks DID NOT. but if it makes the carolina pricks feel better to throw stones at anybody else as long as the holy blue ones aren’t slighted or miscategorized as barely funcitoning illiterates, thats ok, right? thanks for playing jackass
Wonderlic Question:
In the past 15 football meetings between NC State and UNC (since 1995), NC State has won 5 times. How many times has UNC won?
A) 3
B) 10
C) Philip Rivers’ era is all that counts
D) Chuck Amato years don’t count
E) State won in 2008 — that’s all that counts
I will be happy to answer this one. The answer is B, but I’m not sure that addresses the previous statement/question by Jason. 😉
Yes, I do feel better and sorry for the defense mechanism — more of a smoke screen as to how poorly Nicks did on the test — can’t I be a virtual Wingman? Thanks for the honest answer StoneCold!
Now, on to more current matters — Herb Sendek and March Madness go together like peas & carrots. What’s up with coach Jimmy Boeheim getting medieval? When asked about Sendek’s firing from NC State & his hiring at Arizona State he said:
“I thought somebody was pretty stupid and somebody was pretty smart,” Boeheim said. “I’m not going to mention which one.”
Has Lee Fowler taken the Wonderlic yet?
‘Cause that is how JimmyB is…ask him a question he’ll give a straight answer..no BS…no sugar coating….just the truth.
wow, facts just aren’t your friend are they? truth is, sendek wasn’t fired, EVER. should have been yes, but wasn’t. he QUIT and went to asu. so boeheim can answer a faulty question until his face is as orange as the uniform, it still doesn’t change the FACTS.
LOL — come on now! Herb may have QUIT but he was run out of town b/c of the loyal Wolfpack Club donors wearing shirts like this up in the RBC Center: http://www.zazzle.com/fire_herb_sendek_shirt-235879284458917989.
