With the 2017 NFL Draft just two days away, Wonderlic scores are leaking faster than Myles Garrett’s 40-yard-dash time, which was 4.64 seconds at last month’s NFL Draft Combine, by the way.
Garrett scored a 31 out of 50 possible correct answers on the intelligence test, the second-highest score from a defensive lineman in this year’s draft field according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel’s Bob McGinn. Larry Ogunjobi of Charlotte, who is projected as a second or third round draft prospect, scored a near-Ivy League level 36.
Taken on its own, the Wonderlic has its hits and misses as a predictor for success in the NFL.
