Interesting Wonderlic Scores (Race Stats)

[priskilla22]

These scores are for 2010 starting QBs... but to add in, Cam Newton got a 21 on the test...

It is interesting to note that no African American QB ranked higher than 18th (Freeman) and that the 3 who finished dead last are all African American.


Some say these scores mean nothing... but...

• No Super Bowl Champion has been led by a QB with a Wonderlic score below 24, since 2000 (Trent Dilfer)
• 88% of teams with a winning record in the NFL, in the past 2 seasons, have been led by a QB with a Wonderlic score of 25+ (of the known scores)
• The best NFL performing QB with a Wonderlic score of 24 and under, drafted in the past 10 years, is (your choice) of Michael Vick, David Carr, Vince Young or Jason Campbell
• None of the elite QBs of today (Brady, Brees, Manning, Rivers, Roethlisberger, etc) have scored below a 25 on the Wonderlic
