The heavily-guarded Wonderlic test scores from the NFL Scouting Combine have started to leak out. From the Twitter page (http://twitter.com/edgarthompson)of Palm Beach Post writer Edgar Thompson:

Gators QB Tim Tebow scored a 22 on his Wonderlic, Jimmy Clausen 23, Colt McCoy 25 and Sam Bradford 36 out of 50, per NFL source.
The Wonderlic, a timed, 50-question exercise, tests the aptitude of draft prospects. The official results of the tests are distributed by the NFL to the 32 teams after the combine, with scores occasionally leaking out. Other noteworthy QB scores that have been reported in the past: Ryan Fitzpatrick (Harvard) 49, QB Matthew Stafford (Georgia) 38, QB Mark Sanchez (28), Michael Vick (20) and Vince Young (15, after getting a 6 on first attempt).

Dan Marino... 16
Peyton Manning... 28

Let's not get too excited about this test. Clearly it doesn't mean much.

I think the wonderlic is overrated. Some people take tests better than others. I just love the opportunity to brag on my state. Well, my favorite school in my state, lol.

I think you only have to worry when a kid gets less then 10 points like Vince Young, Russell and Akili Smith that I remmember

I think it does give a glimpse into what the QB or whom ever will be able to handle. I think personally that is why Young suffered so much in his 1st year. Now that he has had several years of doing the plays over and over in practice, now he can do them in a game. Reparation makes alot of people seem smart lol..

Drew Henson had a 42. Maybe it's a curse.

Just because you test well, doesnt make you a great athlete. There are a lot of intangibles that go with being a QB.

Yeah Eric, I know. Notice my earlier comment about Marino and Manning's scores?

Just mentioned Henson's score to show the other side of the spectrum.
