I hope Hopkins wasn't involved in this hotel room incident, or I have lost all respect for him

The Wunderlik is not an IQ test. There's a lot of math in there. I've taken a standardized IQ tests and also took the Wunderlik, and they are not that similar. And an 11 is not that awful if you're not proficient at math. Didn't Morris Claiborne that Dallas drafted in the 1st last year get a 4 on the test? True it was not at WR, but I think he did well (??). If Tavon Austin got a (considerably) lower score, and projected to go earlier, it should tell you how much stock they put in it.

@beast - Because his ability is so off the charts, brains won't matter at first. @jin - Once again, you cannot say he has no football knowledge. What is your source on this anyway? This is coming from a guy who watched EVERY down of CP's college career. Trust me. He can run routes. He is not a dumb player. I didn't say he has none just a lack of it from what I have read. My first source is that link I posted in the OP. Here is another one. linkYou may have watched every game but at the same time (not knocking you) you are a very big Volunteers fan! And I know that as a fan of specific teams people (including me) tend to look past players faults. I have read a few articles now that contradict what you are saying each one has stated that Patterson wasn't asked to run any complicated routes and that as the season went on he started losing touches. You may be right but I have read a few things that are stating otherwise. I honestly like CP from the little bit I have learned about him, I like his physical abilities but if I were a coach I would need to take all this into consideration.

Claiborne had a low score. It was around 6. Roddy White is reported to have scored 4 but it was never confirmed. As dive said it's not an I.Q test. It's more of an information overload test to see how much data you can process quickly. Given enough time most people would score highly. In theory it shouldn't matter to CBs and linemen. They're reacting the same way regardless of most plays. I wouldn't want a QB with a low score, although McNabb was reported to have had a low score on his 1st test. Jeff George scored 10. It's a test that people can prepare for. Failing it once teaches you not to dwell on questions you can't solve very quickly. Here's a link I bookmarked in 2011: blogs.palmbeachpost.com/thedailydolphin/2011/03/20/wonderlic-scores-of-various-2011-nfl-draft-prospects/Later edit: I was wrong. Claiborne scored 4.
