Alleged Wonderlic Scores Leak, But Do They Matter?

↵↵With the Scouting Combine in the rearview mirror, it’s about the right time for Wonderlic scores to start leaking. These are always a big source of controversy and of course one last chance for fans at schools to mock the opposition for being a little slow. This year’s first batch of leaked results doesn’t provide us anything particularly earth shattering, but here they are via Edgar Thompson of the Palm Beach Post:↵

↵↵⇥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.↵↵↵I’m sure the immediate reaction goes something like this: “OMG! Tim Tebow is stupid!” Yes, if those scores are correct, he has the lowest of the “name-brand” QBs in this year’s draft. Those numbers don’t even really touch some of the greats in history.↵

↵↵Terry Bradshaw scored 15. Steve McNair and Randall Cunningham also received that score. Donovan McNabb was even worse, scoring a 14. Who has scored a 22 in the past? Tim Couch, Trent Dilfer ... and Brett Favre. If we needed any more proof that Tebow is the new Favre, this seals it right? (OK, probably not.) ↵

↵↵On the other side of the coin, Drew Henson scored a 42, Kellen Clemens a 35, and Patrick Ramsey and Joey Harrington both scored 32. The point is that unless Tebow had set some new low watermark for the test, there isn’t a lot worth freaking out about. Still, I suspect the results for this thing will be spun a million ways in the coming weeks.↵
