“He has a learning disability. He does well overall in school because he has utilized tutors to help him study,study,study. However, when he takes a test “blind” then he has problems processing the information. Since the Wonderlic doesn’t affect his draft status and doesn’t ultimately matter, he didn’t feel the need to study for it like he does on school exams.”

“Mr. Claiborne, of course it’s standard practice that your agent gets a 88% cut of your contract…”

It may simply limit the number of teams who will gamble a draft pick on someone with such neanderthal human intelligence.

To date, the wonderlic score has not proven itself as a true test of success or failure in the NFL.

So give the kid a chance?

The only shame about the whole thing is that it becomes public knowledge. NFL should do something to keep those numbers. If they can’t do that, I believe they should do away with the Wonderlic and allow teams to give their own competency test if they choose to interview a certain player.

I’ve always believed there should be a developmental league. I know, NFL Europe, but that didn’t last.

If you can read the English language at a 5th grade level you should get double digits.

If I didn’t read ANY questions and randomly guessed at every answer…I would get at least a 10.

“4″ is somewhere between Mongo and a rock.

One of the best CB’s to ever play the game, Rod Woodson scored a 9.

Obviously Wonderlic scores and CB play don’t share much of a correlation.

Honey, you are a broken record. Plenty of extremely intelligent students get their degrees in the SEC and go on to have very successful careers in a variety of fields. Nothing is wrong with SEC education. Your only concern is bitterness over the SEC football players who’ve won six straight NCAA titles. And you Penn State fans shouldn’t be talking about what people in any other football program do in their spare time. Even if Claiborne did major in moonshining, inbreeding, gator hunting, and robbing, it beats heck out of what your coaches taught. Now sit down and shut up.

No, my friend actually tried on the test. He just heard from the other players about not caring.

Also, if Claibourne has a disability, then thats a serious thing. Doesn’t mean he isn’t smart.

That doesn’t mean it’ll stay there. He wouldn’t be the first NFL player to go bankrupt.

Its common to get a lot of money, lose it, and have no education to fall back on.

And Yes if he didnt play football he probably would have never gotten in to LSU. The purpose of college football is to bring money to the schools, not to give unintelligent people an education. LSU has over a 30 million dollar profit per year from their football team. the players #1 reason for going to college is to play football and hopefully make it to the NFL. The school part is just a cover up for what is really going on but it doesn’t bother me by any means

==================================
Goobs, you think the Wonderlic measures imports (like cars, tvs, etc)?

You must have scored 3 on the Wonderlic, Goobs.
