Some of these scores are pretty scary. Winslow comes to mind. A 12??? Also what was Roderick Green thinking?? Or was he even thinking?
Prospects shine, struggle with big test before draft

Forget about midterms, finals or any other exam.
The most important test each top college football prospect takes is the Wonderlic.
It is the standardized intelligence test that helps each team decide to whom it wants to show the money.
In Wonderlic parlance, 50 is the highest possible score, 21 is considered average intelligence, 14 is considered an unskilled laborer and anything below is the polar opposite of mastermind.
Most NFL teams want quarterbacks and offensive linemen to score at least 25, though the closer to the ball a player usually is, the higher his score needs to be.
The average score for an NFL prospect is 19.
The only NFL player to score a perfect 50 was Harvard grad Pat McInally, which explains why he became a punter.
Each player has 12 minutes to answer 50 questions. Grades are worth tens of thousands of dollars, if not millions.
And two weeks before the April 24-25 NFL draft, in the form of a 2004 Wonderlic Team, some grades are being posted.
