| 27th February, 2006 - 6:37 pm |  FoxSports - After a rumor spread through the NFL combine Saturday that the Texas quarterback had scored a shockingly low 6 on the Wonderlic test, Young reportedly took the test again and scored a much more acceptable 16.
According to a report in the Houston Chronicle, the original report of Young's 6 was false.
"I've been told it was inaccurate by a source good enough for me to quote it," Texans general manager Charley Casserly said Sunday afternoon.
The test, which consists of 50 non-football related questions in 12 minutes, is designed to determine a prospect's ability to learn. A low score could dramatically impact a prospect's draft position; according to the report, no coach, scout or general manager surveyed could produce an example of a starting quarterback with a single-digit Wonderlic score.
A score of 20 indicates average intelligence and corresponds roughly to an IQ of 100. However, it has long been believed that the test is culturally biased and many executives administer additional tests to supplement the Wonderlic. [READ] |
