I think you get a 12 for spelling your name correctly.

Think it matters for QB, and marginally for other positions

It’s a data point for analysis that has to happen on a case by case basis. By itself it is not a measure of how well you will play football

Lamar will enter the league, play in a Cam Newton-style grade school system, win ROY, then flame after 3 seasons and a knee surgery.

I would be more intrigued by the results if the questions were about football IQ

such as player responsibilities in different schemes, recognizing coverages, football techniques and fundamentals etc

I don't care if a LB can do Trig.

I don't think it's meant to measure football IQ(awareness) as much as learning a complex NFL playbook.

My opinion is that it matters if the score is substantially low, it's a legitimate red flag just because complex defenses require understanding and if you can't score average that tells me it'll take you a longer time to diagnose things. Super high wonderlic like Fitzpatrick tells me they'll be at worst a great backup because they can backseat qb.

But like others, it really depends on the position too. pass rushing DE, not as much. Every down DE, yeah. Linebackers, yeah. Man corners, no. Zone corners, yeah. Safety, yeah. OL, yeah. DT, no. Every down RB, yeah. Short yardage rb, no.

Mo Claiborne is a phenomenal athlete, dumb as a brick, so asking him to diagnose and read plays is going to land you in a bad spot. Simplify it and tell him to stick on a guy like glue and he is super successful.

One thing that stood out was the extreme high number of back up QB's in the top scores. More than the stud starting QB's. It shows you why they stick around for so long.

Really matters at QB, so yeah that ain't good.

EDIT: My understanding is it measures your ability to take in a lot of information and make decisions (pick the right answers) quickly. So it matters a lot for QBs, maybe not so much for defensive players who just have to be really good at blowing things up on instinct

I think it’s extremely important for QBs but anyone who says anything about a black qbs low score is called racist.
