Now looking at the stats there are successfull quarterbacks in the NFL that didn't pass this rule, Favre, Rodgers and McNabb amongst them, but there are a lot of first round draft pick quarterback busts who were drafted high but failed this rule. From this year's class the guys who passed were Ponder, Dalton, McElroy, and Gabbert. |
I also thought the lone comment from the article was very interesting. Don't know if it is true or not though.

Wow, Peyton a 28 Wonderlic, Eli 39 (quiet b/c he's pensive?), and Fitzpatrick a 48. I knew Harvard == smart, but didn't realize scores on the test went that high.
New respect for Eli, though. Interesting link and post. Thanks."
