There once was a QB who took the Wonderlic and scored "in the single digits" With that kind of score, psychologists would be looking for polite ways to say he was "dumb as a fence post". His agent claimed he was distracted and got him to take another test whereupon he scored in the "upper teens". That makes him much smarter than a fence post but still not someone who would ever be confused with a MENSA member.

The Wonderlic purports to be an IQ test which measures learning capacity and innate intelligence. For a QB, you probably want a guy who is smart to begin with and has some learning capacity, no?

Well our subject was a first round pick due to his athleticism but he just could not seem to "grasp" the new offense. So they watered it down for him. Still too complex so they watered it down some more. By that time, the defensive coordinators around the league seemed to know the play about to be run before the offensive line was set. Being a first round QB, our hero got a bonus and therefore had to stay with the team for a couple of years to amortize the cap hit. Then, he was cut.

Moral of the story: It takes more than just brawn to play NFL football...
