Sam Bradford
During the NFL Scouting Combine, players take a 50 question timed test called Wonderlic or Wunderlich (I’ve seen both spellings). The scores are sent to NFL teams. A writer for the Palm Beach Post listed the scores of the top 4 quarterback prospects in this years draft:
Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – 36
Colt McCoy (Texas) – 25
Jimmy Clausen (Notre Dame) – 23
Tim Tebow (Florida) – 22
So does this mean that Bradford is the smartest quarterback in this year’s draft class? We’ll see. Anybody who has ever taken standardized tests wonders about the process. Yet they seem to give us some insights into how people stack up. If nothing else, it provides Oklahoma fans with something else to boast.
Last year Mark Sanchez (USC) had a great year with the Jets. He scored a 28. The best score recorded was by Ryan Fitzpatrick of Harvard – makes sense – with a 49. Vince Young (Texas) plays for the Tennessee Titans. He represents the low end with a 6 on his first try. He retook the test and scored a 15.
