Vince Young might be really stupid
<http://www.deadspin.com/sports/vince-young/if-your-wonderlic-score-is-lower-than-your-jersey-number-157028.php>

"It’s being reported by profootballtalk.com that Vince Young scored a six on the Wonderlic test. That’s six. S-i-x. 6.

Let’s ask The Wizard of Odds what that means:

The average score for a player at the combine is 19. The average score overall — hundreds of corporations use the Wonderlic — is 21. But a score under 10 is an indication of literacy problems. Former Iowa State running back Darren Davis reportedly has the record for lowest score, a 4. Former Florida State kicker Sebastian Janikowski reportedly got a 9."


One has real problems if one is much dumber than Sebastian Janikowski. That boy is really dumb and speaks english as a second language.

1. Ok...
So he did poorly on an intelligence test, there are concerns about his ability to read defenses from a straight snap (see Couch, Tim), there's the throwing motion thing, and some people have questions about his ability to make all the throws.

Is he still projected in the top 5?

3. I think it says more about the damn educational processes of UT
than anything important about the young man's intelligence. Just sayin'.
