he isn't fast enough to be a WR/RB/DB. Now he could easily be a TE or LB.

I don't know if he can catch well enough, and he defintley cannot tackle well enough.

Hmm he's still getting picked in the first round, and the combine is the most overrated thing ever.

The thing that makes the combine overrated is they take tests like this, and 40 times etc. and assume that the results of these tests determine how is a good football player. This case is different because there defintley are some GM's who take these results and base their picks off them.

from PFT. Obviously exaggerated, but interested nontheless

VINCE IS STOOPID?



A league source tells us that there's a rumor making the rounds at the combine that Texas quarterback Vince Young scored a miserably horrible six on the Wonderlic test.



A six! That's bad. It's beyond bad. In fact, it's the lowest score that we can ever remember hearing anyone getting.



All incoming NFL players take a 50-question version of the Wonderlic, with a 12-minute window within which to finish it.



We found 15 sample Wonderlic questions on ESPN.com's page 2, including such brain-benders as selecting the ninth month of the year from among five possible choices. We'd like to think that most people of average intelligence could get at least six of the 15 sample questions right.



Getting a total of only six out of a total of 50 questions of that same kind is pa-freakin'-thetic. For a guy who's going to be called upon to read defenses and call audibles and work through a progression of receivers against NFL-caliber opposition, it's downright scary.



The source tells us that he hasn't seen the result in writing yet, but that he's "99 percent" certain that Young's score was six.



Said the source, who knows a thing or two about evaluating college players:



"I predict he'll fall all the way out of the first round."



That's a bold statement, and we're not saying that we agree with it -- primarily because our guess is that there's someone almost dumb enough to get a six on the Wonderlic, who'll overlook Young's low score along with any other concerns that might come to light over the next two months.

I like PFT, and I read it every day, but under no circumstances should anyone assume that this report is true until it's confirmed elsewhere. If it is true, there's no way he gets through both Oakland and Arizona- he stays top ten.

Matt jones was a QB until the combine last year. I think vy could qualify as a te.

You can count on one hand the number of players who have put up a perfect score on this test.

So I think the questions might get a little tougher than "name the 9th month" as you go along.

I think I remember reading that Brian Griese got the highest score ever on the Wonderlic test (and I dont think it was perfect). Good old Michigan QB's.
