Does the Wonderlic Test even matter anymore?

Morris Claiborne is said to have made a 4.

Courtney Upshaw is said to have made a 9.


How will these scores affect their Draft stock? If they are affected at all?

only matters if you're a QB apparently

For a OLB/DE like Upshaw, nope. See the QB, hit the QB...lift heavy things and play hard.

The test must be flawed. I know for a fact that Upshaw is an intelligent, articulate, and eloquent young man.

Only matters for certain positions....

I'm wondering why you take the test to be honest. I don't think anyone is going to move up based on a great score. I doubt you move back as well, but it seems to just be fodder for opposing fan-bases.

One report I read explained that the tests are used to determine learning disabilities. Many scouts will call the college coaches to find out the football IQ after viewing the Wonderlic mainly to find out how the player handled the playbook.

Depends on your position.
