The Wonderlic test is taken by every NFL draft prospect. They are usually leaked every year. Its a test to measure cognitive ability and problem solving. Think of it as an IQ test.
Daniel Jones scored a 37 last year which is one of the higher wonderlic scores you will find. I'll list different positions below.
Offensive Tackles Wonderlic Scores:
Erza Cleveland 30
Andrew Thomas 28
Isaiah Wilson 28
Austin Jackson 25
Matt Peart 20
Mekhi Bechton 15
Josh Jones 14
Jedrick Wills 9 (Scored a 23 on his second attempt)
^^ That's super interesting to me. I've made comments in my main offensive line evaluation thread how Jedrick Wills does not have good awareness. When I watch his tape I see a guy who is not processing and making good decisions fast enough. That was my biggest knock on him as a prospect. Seeing how he originally scored a 9 on his wonderlic test, just cements exactly what I saw. He did take a retest, but I'm wondering if he was "coached" to score higher in his 2nd chance at the test. A 9 is REALLY bad. That's like being placed in the mentally deficient kids school. I've also mentioned how aware Andrew Thomas is. I just see how smart he is when he plays. Really fast thinker, makes very intelligent moves while playing. He ended up scoring among the highest in the class. It's amazing how tape can reflect someone's cognitive ability in mental testing. I can read brains in film! haha
WR Wonderlic Scores:
Michael Pittman 29
Bryan Edwards 28
Chase Claypool 27
Brandon Aiyuk 23
Henry Ruggs 20
Justin Jefferson 19
Denzel Mims 17
KJ Hamler 15
Laviska Shenault 14
Jalen Reagor 13
Cee Dee Lamb 12
Van Jefferson 12
Tee Higgins 11
Jerry Jeudy 9
^^ Poor Tee Higgins and Jerry Jeudy! WRs have mostly scripted routes, so as long as they can remember a playbook, it shouldn't be much of a issue. When plays break down they can improvise, but that is quite instinctual. But if they have trouble learning and remembering plays, that could certainly be an issue.
QB's Wonderlic Scores:
Nate Stanley 40
Jake Fromm 35
Joe Burrow 34
Jake Luton 29
Jordan Love 27
Justin Herbert 25
Anthony Gordon 25
Brian Lewerke 25
Jacob Eason 23
James Morgan 23
Jalen Hurts 18
Tua Tagovailoa 13
^^ Jake Fromm and Burrow both finished with very high scores. Those are elite scores.
Yeah, I know.... I see it too. Black QBs tend to score lower on the wonderlic scores; we see it every year. That's why it took the NFL so long to let black players be QBs in the league. Hurts and Tua rank at the very bottom. Jordan Love shows that he has brains along with that solid arm of his. Jordan Love tends to remind people of Patrick Mahomes (he scored a 24 on his wonderlic). So he's in good company.
