Malik Willis scored a 32 on the Wonderlic

[HawkOG70’]

Which is impressive and upper echelon of decision making ability on average. If we ended up trading Russ I really liked what Willis brought to the table but it looks like we’re rolling with Russ for one more year

Malik is freaking perfect for the kind of game Carroll likes to play.

I don't think we have a shot at him though.

He has Josh Allenesque upside.

Watxh somebody pick him at #8.

We will not Draft a first round QB anyway, too much money to fast and we end up in the same position again.

Getting a starting QB in the first round is a steal these days. It ties up a fraction of what it used to.

 

[ivotuk]

Actually, after looking at this year's QBs, I'd rather go DE at #9

Wait, when did he "Supposedly" take this test? And where's the link?

There's a reason the NFL eliminated the Wonderlic. It's BS.


Low scores possibly allowed us to get Bobby Wagner in the 2nd round! You know, the guy that negotiated his own NFL contract?

The NFL Gets Rid Of The ‘Racist’ Wonderlic Test – Robert Hamilton

Wonderlic grades intelligence on a scale of 1-50. A 2012 study published in the Journal of Sports Economics found that black NFL draft picks averaged a score of 19.76, while white draft picks averaged 27.7.

Only one player in history — a white punter named Pat McInally — ever got a perfect score. The 12 lowest scores ever were from black players.

The only thing racist about any test is assuming it's racist because black players don't do well on average . What a utterly stupid thing to suggest.

Wonderlic scores are a reasonable thing for QBs but pretty worthless for most other positions.

Not necessarily for playing ability, but for ability to interact with a variety of situations, consider a variety of factors. Consider Russell Wilson's 2012 QB class. Andrew Luck got the top score of 37. This may never have helped him on the field, but this ability to consider situations and decide led him to decide to retire early rather than be constantly injured and rehabbing. He considered many factors to reach that decision, including how long his NFL money would last, the chances of Indy getting an O-Line that could protect him, etc.

The two Super Bowl winning starting QBs from this list: Nick Foles at 29 and Russell Wilson at 28. So get your QBs smart, but not TOO smart like Andrew Luck.

The Top Ten Wonderlic Test Scores 2012
1. Andrew Luck Wonderlic Test Score 37
2. Ryan Lindley Wonderlic Test Score 35
3. Ryan Tannehill Wonderlic Test Score 34
4. Kirk Cousins Wonderlic Test Score 33
5. Nick Foles Wonderlic Test Score 29
6. Russell Wilson Wonderlic Test Score 28
7. Brandon Weeden Wonderlic Test Score 27
8. Kellen Moore Wonderlic Test Score 26
9. Brock Osweiler Wonderlic Test Score 25
10. Robert Griffin III Wonderlic Test Score 24

To me, Malik Willis's Wonderlic of 32, if accurate, says this is a dude that will be well-spoken enough to be the face of a franchise, IF his play on the field supports him being the starter.

I wouldn't be unhappy if the Hawks picked Willis at #9, or traded back to get picks and nabbed him at say, 12. It might be his 3rd year before he hits the level Russell hit in his rookie season.

Wow nice list. Yeah I would much rather draft Stingley at 9 and hope that Willis falls to the early 2nd round which he could. Fingers crossed

Sheesh. Klansman ass comment right there.

Math is racist, so is the digital blackface you're wearing, grand wizard.

 

[ivotuk]

Nobody's going to answer the question? There is NO Wonderlic. So how did the OP claim that Malik Willis scored a 32?


And from the comments on here, nobody read the story at the link either.


I don't know about the Wonderlic, but I did read that IQ tests are invalid because the authors used specific instances and hypotheticals that worked great for anyone from an American Background and Education, but failed to take in to consideration that people outside of those environments would have NO experience in such situations.
