A.J. Green = Not so wonderlic

McElroy scored a 48, the second-highest score ever and the highest score by a non Harvard player.
One Harvard guy got a perfect score — 50 — and another guy got a 48. One of them is the current quarterback at Buffalo.
I think the perfect score was a punter but don't remember his name.

 

Not true on McElroy. As the link I posted notes, the initial leak said he scored a 48 but it was actually a 43.

 

47.5. The only one I couldn't get is the one with the missing letter at the end in the little grid. I had no effin' clue.

But it's rigged in my favor, because I'm white.

 

Pat McaNally (sp?)

 

I'd still draft A.J. Green or Julio Jones. They're both hosses.

 

Rafael Septien wants in on that party.

 

I got 18 of 20 for a 45. But I'm white, so that should come as no surprise!

 

I almost wonder why a guaranteed first round pick would take these tests. The fact these test scores become public is disgusting.

 

The fact that these tests are not televised as part of the combine is disgusting to me. That would be a hell of a lot more riveting television than Rich Eisen running a 40.

 

I missed a few that I would've gotten if I had more time, but I also just flat-out got a couple wrong. Number 18, I had no idea what was going on there. I ended up with a 37.5.

 

Serious question about Green, the Wonderlic and race? Green is from a semi-rural part of South Carolina, but was considered a stud athlete since his junior high days. I believe he was the only four-time all state player in South Carolina history. He went to the state's most famed football school (Summerville).

At one point did teachers stop trying to educate this kid and just push him through the system because he was the top football player at a school known for producing football players? So is he dumb or just a kid that no one ever pushed him to succeed in school because of his skills?

And yes this can be said of a lot of top athletes.

 

Pat McInally, a punter/wide receiver from Harvard, got the 50.

And McElroy did not get a 48. He came out a few weeks later and said he only got a 43.

And Green's a relative genius compared to Patrick Peterson, who supposedly got a 9:
