..again, it is not an \"intelligence\" test.. it is a \"how fast you think under pressure\" test... you could be a heart surgeon and not do well in the wonderli... the wonderlic given to NFL players to be doesn\'t test knowledge...

...yes it doesn\'t take much brains to pancacke one guy coming straight at you, but what about if it is 2 guys? Did you get the whle play in the huddle?...You just set... the LB drops and the SS goes to the line... ball is snapped...do you know where your QB is? Do you know where your RB is?Which one you block and which one you let go?

...once you set, you only got a few seconds to see what\'s going on... once the ball is snapped, you have less seconds to react...

I think he answered these questions last year.
2004, entire year...
1 Sack
0 Hurries

Looks like he aced it!

... well, that could very well be, but is not like he was going against Reggie White or Buddy Ryan\'s 46 defense every Saturday.. Anyway, that was not the point of the post... it was to merely point out that the wonderlic the NFL prospects get is not meant to test intelligence, that it attempts to measure cognitive ability, and why some NFL FO\'s may put weigth on it...

..it is just another part of the equation, right there with 40 times in perfect conditions without pads, or bench pressing, etc. , to give FO\'s what they think is a total picture of a player...
