Matthew Stafford scored 38. USC's Mark Sanchez scored 28 and Kansas State's Josh Freeman 27.

Michael Crabtree of Texas Tech scored 15, Darrius Heyward-Bey of Maryland scored 14, Percy Harvin of Florida scored 12 and Hakeem Nicks of North Carolina scored 11, maclin scored a 25

Andre Smith of Alabama scored 17, Arizona's Eben Britton with 31. Others: Eugene Monroe of Virginia had 24, Jason Smith of Baylor 23 and Michael Oher of Mississippi 19.

Clay Matthews scored 27, Brian Cushing 23 and Rey Maualuga 15.

"Defensive backs: Two scores stood out. Maryland cornerback Kevin Barnes scored 41, and Western Michigan safety Louis Delmas scored 12. One front office man said he was not concerned about Delmas' score because he plays smart. Delmas still could be the first safety chosen."

I was thinking maybe they have made it easier this year, because i didnt think Oher would get even a 19 and Freeman a 27, but that would mean some of these other guys are borderline retarded so they have to be legit.

it doesnt list all of the players scores though just the most "interesting" onesEdited by: dwid

Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford scored 38 out of 50 on the Wonderlic test at the recent NFL combine, while North Carolina receiver Hakeem Nicks struggled with an 11, according Dan Pompei of the Chicago Tribune.

Two other quarterbacks also did well. USC's Mark Sanchez scored a 28 and Kansas State's Josh Freeman 27.

Outside of Jeremy Maclin of Missouri, who scored 25, several top receiver prospects joined Nicks in the low-score category. Michael Crabtree of Texas Tech had a 15, Darrius Heyward-Bey of Maryland 14 and Percy Harvin of Florida 12.

Pompei writes: "The test result is particularly interesting in the case of Harvin, who will have more learning to do than the others based on the offense he played in at Florida and the fact he could be used in multiple roles."

Alabama offensive tackle Andre Smith scored a borderline 17. Other offensive tackles: Arizona's Eben Britton (31); Virginia's Eugene Monroe (24); Baylor's Jason Smith (23) and Mississippi's Michael Oher (19).

There were highs and lows among three USC linebackers. Clay Matthews scored 27 and Brian Cushing 23, but Rey Maualuga had a 15. Pompei: "Maualuga's score is slightly troubling considering he likely will be a middle linebacker who is asked to call the defenses."

Maryland corner Kevin Barnes had a fabulous 41 and Western Michigan safety Louis Delmas, who could be the first safety selected, scored 12.

Offensive tackles average the highest scores (26), followed by centers (25), quarterbacks (25), guards (23), tight ends (22), safeties (19), linebackers (19), cornerbacks (18), receivers (17), fullbacks (17) and halfbacks (16). The average score for a player at the combine is 19.

Pat McInally of Harvard is the only who scored a 50. Only one out of 100,000 people ace the test.

Stafford's score will no doubt strengthen his position in the NFL draft. Last year, Matt Ryan of Boston College scored a 32 and was the third pick of the first round by the Atlanta Falcons. Joe Flacco of Delaware had a 27 and was the 18th pick of the first round by the Baltimore Ravens. Each had outstanding rookie seasons.

By comparison, USC's John David Booty and Kentucky's Andre Woodson scored 14 when given the test in 2008. Florida's Chris Leak reportedly scored an 8 in 2007, then the score was upgraded to 12. In 2006, Texas' Vince Young reportedly scored a 6, but was given another opportunity and scored 16.

Terry Bradshaw is said to have scored 15 when he took the test in 1970.

Among people of various professions, chemists score an average of 31, journalists 26, clerical workers 21 and warehouse employees 15.

A score under 10 is an indication of literacy problems. Former Iowa State running back Darren Davis reportedly has the lowest score for an NFL prospect, a 4.

This article proves what everyone on this site already knows but no liberal will ever admit.

So if Vince Young scored a 6 and warehouse employees a 15, I'm trying to figure out what job he could actually do in the real world. Maybe Walmart greeter? Edited by: Freethinker

Not if he has to speak the "King's English"....

That sounds like a perfect job for him considering his best real-world skill is his room-brightening smile.

Yet another reason UGA's cannon-arm'd Matt Stafford needs to be the #1 pick!

With those scores, Vince Young should hold out for one of the national workforce jobs that BHO will give to the brothers. Maybe then, he can go door to door checking on white folks computer cookies and firearms compliance.
