I'm surprised "critics" & "analysts" haven't posted Wonderlick scores for this 2022 QB draft class.

I don't put a whole lot of stock into the scores but here are names/results for some potential Day 1 selections :

Sam "I am" Howell: 34
Malik Willis - 32
Carson Strong - 22
Desmond Ridder - 19
Kenny "Baby hands" Pickett - 17
Matt Corral - 15

This may be the last year of the Wonderlic use by the NFL. The sharing of results this year was also frowned upon.

NFL eliminating Wonderlic test in draft procedures

By Ryan Glasspiegel
January 5, 2022

The time-honored tradition of allegedly confidential Wonderlic scores getting leaked before the NFL Draft appears to be coming to an end.

A league memo obtained by the AP says that league officials “plan” to eliminate the Wonderlic — a standardized, multiple choice test with logic riddles designed to gauge intelligence — from evaluation procedures.

This is news many have been advocating for over a number of years. As far back as 2009, a study revealed the Wonderlic had no correlation for NFL performance at a vast majority of positions. The only positions with correlation were tight end and defensive back — and the correlation was negative.

The NFL also plans to punish teams for asking prospects insensitive questions.

The memo said teams could be docked as much as a first-round pick and fined at least $150,000 for any conduct deemed to be “disrespectful, inappropriate, or unprofessional” in interviews with prospective players.

There are well-documented instances of teams treating players inappropriately during interviews. Dez Bryant was infamously asked if his mother was a prostitute. A number of players were asked if their mom was hot. One prospect said he was asked to reveal his internet search history. Eli Apple was asked about his sexual orientation by the Atlanta Falcons.
