Study Reveals NFL Players with Low Wonderlic Scores More Likely to Be Arrested

In a new NFL draft-related study released Tuesday, it was revealed there may be a correlation between players scoring poorly on the Wonderlic test and running into off-field issues that result in an arrest.

According to ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert, a group of college professors studied draft data from 2001 to 2012 and found that those who score below the mean on the Wonderlic are twice as likely to get arrested as those who score above it.
