Are you smarter than Vince Young?
February 25, 2008 by Mike CasazzaIt’s a guilty pleasure, but one of my favorite parts about the NFL Combine — besides Mike Mayock’s lisp –is the chance or likelihood a star player blows the Wonderlic test. The details come out gradually and I’ve got a few suspects for this year’s intellectual tank job.
Speaking of Vince Young, I’m reminded of the Sweet 16 game in 2006 between Texas and WVU. Young, of course, played football for Texas and the basketball team had P.J. Tucker, who had his share of trouble with academics. WVU fans produced these signs:
Dear P.J.,
Thanks for helping me study for the Wonderlic.
Sincerely,
VinceIf you can read this
you’re not P.J. Tucker
Anyhoo, teams put a lot of stock into the Wonderlic which kind of baffles me because someone can flunk it and teams will look the other way. Let’s be honest: If you have trouble with this, you’re in trouble.
