Wonderlic results released (kind of)
Sheil Kapadia, Philly.com
As is the case every year, results for the Wonderlic test have been leaked.
The exam contains 50 questions, and prospects at the Scouting Combine have 12 minutes to fill out those multiple-choice bubbles.
Results are supposed to be kept confidential, but that pretty much never happens.
Dan Pompei of the Chicago Tribune has the scores.
Among quarterbacks, Georgia's Matthew Stafford fared well, scoring a 38. USC's Mark Sanchez posted a 28, while Kansas State's Josh Freeman scored a 27.
As a point of reference, Matt Ryan reportedly scored a 32 last year, and Joe Flacco scored a 27.
Here are the other scores Pompei was able to get his hands on:
Michael Crabtree, WR, Texas Tech - 15
Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland - 14
Percy Harvin, WR, Florida - 12
Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina - 11
Andre Smith, OT, Alabama - 17
Eben Britton, OT, Arizona - 31
Eugene Monroe, OT, Virginia - 24
Michael Oher, OT, Ole Miss - 19
Jason Smith, OT, Baylor - 23
Rey Maualuga, LB, USC - 15
Clay Matthews, LB, USC - 27
Brian Cushing, LB, USC - 23
Kevin Barnes, CB, Maryland - 41
Louis Delmas, Safety, Western Michigan - 12

Donte' Stallworth's attorney denies reports that tests show the wide receiver was driving drunk when he allegedly struck and killed a pedestrian last week in Miami Beach.
According to Stallworth's lawyer, Christopher Lyons, results of have not yet been released.
The Miami Herald and WFOR-CBS4 reported last week that Stallworth's blood-alcohol level was 0.14. The legal limit is 0.08.
Miami TV station WSVN reported that his blood-alcohol level was 0.12.
Let's test Laurie, Banner and Reid!! Dawk's beats them all hands down.— Earl J
Hmm. College-educated (?) people score 11 and 12 on a 50-question problem-solving test? Did Percy Harvin and Hakeem Nicks go to a single class during their college years? Or am I hopelessly naive, in this age of multimillion-dollar athletes, in expecting that people -- even athletes -- will actually learn something at college?
Yes Dave, unfortunately, you're naive. The less intelligent among the top athletes at big schools can get away with taking cream-puff classes and repeatedly skipping classes and still getting passing grades from professors. I think it's pretty interesting though that the top OL all scored much better than the top WRs. The WR position used to have guys like Jerry Rice, Steve Largent, Cris Collinsworth, John Stallworth, Charlie Joiner, etc. who were smart players, good route runners and had great hands. Nowadays, the WR position seems like it's all about freakishly athletic divas who have great 40 times and vertical leaps and not much else.— JimG- Big-time cream puff classes...— Ruiz the Great
- Earl? wtf are you talking about Lurie and Banner obviously score higher than you, Idiot. Yes Lurie and Banner didn't give Dawk a huge deal like Denver But Dawk did the typical thing and followed the money! Lurie is a billionaire for a reason, He doesnt pay for things he doesnt believe are worth it. Same as anyone who is rich they know how to make money and keep it, instead of just throwing it away.— Dave76
When will the Dawkins infatuation be over? Maybe when he is released in one year? Denver has signed everyone they could get their hands on including my fuel oil delivery man. That doesn't make them smart. It just means they spent money on old washed up players. Not my idea of good FO work.— tpizza- Obviously the test is biased against WRs.— mikemaddog
- McNabb scored a 14.— psu05
- With some the Dawkins infatuation will never end... just like the McNabb hate, right psu05? It's as assured as Dickie V annoying everyone in March.— aphillyphan
Comment removed.- Dave76....That short term intelligence which you speak so highly of regarding Banner and Lurie won't last the long term. People are starting to catch on and if they don't spend money soon and win a superbowl, your beloved owner will be taking the money and running. So far these guys won as many superbowls as their predecessor's. How long do you think people will put up with their highly intelligent scam, which produces the same bottom line result? Yeah, really smart.— Voytas
- Great point, Voytas. People will start to turn on this owner, it's only a matter of two loosing seasons in a row. I dont have to like Banner or Lorie, just get us the results ( palyers that get us to the super bowl). Dave76 seems to believe that Lurie and his billionaire club buddies are all smart. Guess what? Just because you are a billionaire, does not mean you are smart. Plus, why the hell do I want our owner of a sports franchise making his billions off of us??? Go make your billions somewhere else....not on our back!!— #1WRneeded
