Young's test result a wonder to scouts
Texas quarterback Vince Young isn't working out at the NFL Combine, but if the buzz here yesterday is true, he may have hurt his draft status significantly without throwing a football.
With pro prospects running and jumping inside the RCA Dome, word outside began to spread that Young scored a six on the Wonderlic test given to prospects.
The 12-minute, 50-multiple choice question test is just one factor teams look at when gauging a player's intelligence. The average score for an NFL prospect is roughly 19.
The NFL doesn't make Wonderlic scores public.
Most draft experts viewed Young as a Top 3 pick. A low Wonderlic score, however, could result in him sliding in the draft if teams believe he is not capable of grasping the myriad of responsibilities of an NFL quarterback.
Players are allowed to take the test multiple times, so Young could take the test again. Word is USC quarterback Matt Leinart scored a 35 on the test, while the results for Vanderbilt QB Jay Cutler were unknown. Cutler scored in the upper-20s on the test before the NFL Combine.

COMBINE OFFICIAL SCREWED UP VINCE'S WONDERLIC
A league source tells us that Texas quarterback Vince Young indeed scored a six on the Wonderlic test on Saturday -- but that the guy who graded the test screwed the thing up when totaling the number of right answers.
Combine officials, we're told, have re-scored the Young's test and the test of all other players who took it in his group. NFL teams will get the official Wonderlic results for all players later in the week.
On Saturday, there was widespread chatter at the combine that Young got only six out of 50 questions right on the standard test used by the NFL to gauge player intelligence. The Nashville Tennessean corroborated the reports of the low score in its Sunday edition.
Whether the actual number was 6 or 50 or something in between remains to be seen.
It's a major embarrassment, in our view, for the folks who put on the combine. Because it's inevitable that this information will get out (indeed, Pro Football Weekly got their mitts on the full Wonderlic results from the 2005 combine), it's critical that the folks charged with grading the tests get it right.
It's even more important that the scores are right before the information is leaked.
We have a feeling that this one could get interesting. Stay tuned.

Vince Young scored a 16 on the Wonderlic after re-taking it Sunday.
That's still a low score for a quarterback, but not as mind-numbing as the 6 that was originally reported. A mistake was reportedly made correcting his original test. The lowest score any NFL starting quarterback who started in 2005 was J.P. Losman's 14. This shouldn't be a huge factor in Young's draft status.
LOL
Oh my Gosh!
I guess he will no longer be a MULTI-Millionaire.
lol take the sample test at ESPN page2
I scored higher than 6 on just 15 questions lol.
So now the question is: what was the Wonderlic score for the guy doing the scoring?
pooey...I got 11
Espn has the Wonderlic sample questions. I took it and i got 10 out of 15 right, not getting to finish the last two questions in time.

14... damn, ing question about seasons.
13 of 15 for me.
How many spots do you think this will drop him?
Young must not have cared about taking the test because the questions look easy. I wouldn't care if he scored 0 on it. If I was a GM, I would still draft him very high (top 5). Does a quarterback really need to know what the ninth month of the year is. Come on. Of course melo drama is going spread over this. Give me a ing break. Play football. I think McNair got like a 17 on it.
I would love to see the Wonderlic scores of a bunch of QBs, including the following:
Tom Brady
Bret Favre
Ryan Leaf
Quincy Carter
John Elway
Ben Rothleswhatever
Michael Vick
I wouldn't be surprised to find the whole Wonderlic thing is a bunch of crap uncorrelated to anything, and somebody has just been bilking the NFL.
They showed scores on Brady, Favre, Elway in another thread somewhere, let me find it.
Stewart, Kordell 12
Hasselbeck, Matt 29
McNabb, Donovan 16, 12
Manning, Eli 39
* Pat McInally, punter — 50
* Kevin Curtis, wide receiver — 48
* Alex Smith, quarterback — 40
* Brian Griese, quarterback — 39
* Eli Manning, quarterback — 39
* Akili Smith, quarterback — 37 (suspected of cheating; scored 15 on first attempt)
* Matt Leinart, quarterback — 35
* Tom Brady, quarterback — 33
* Steve Young, quarterback — 33
* John Elway, quarterback — 30
* Mike Mamula, defensive end — 49
* Peyton Manning, quarterback — 28
* Troy Aikman, quarterback — 29
* Ben Roethlisberger, quarterback — 25
* David Carr, quarterback — 24
* Brett Favre, quarterback — 22
* Michael Vick, quarterback — 20
* Vinny Testaverde, quarterback — 18
* Antwaan Randle El, wide receiver — 17
* Dan Marino, quarterback — 16
* Vince Young, quarterback — 16 (unknown score on first attempt; rumored to be 6)
* Randall Cunningham, quarterback — 15
* Jeff George, quarterback — 10
Cunningham & Marino got 15, 16 and look how bad ass they turned out. The test doesn't really mean .
Thanks.
Jeff George was an asshole, but had a decent career. Certainly a better one than Brian Griese.
I would still love to know what Leaf and Carter scored, since they're probably the biggest QB busts of modern times.
I posted a bunch of QB scores in the "Vince Young Official Website" thread in the college forum. Quincy Carter got a 30.
