BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Any one else seen reports that Suh got a zero on his wonderlic? One theory is that he tanked it on purpose so the Rams wouldn't pick him. I don't buy that. The other theory is that he didn't take the test and received a zero. That might be more plausible.

General Blackshirt Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 ...or some bafoon made you look like a bigger bafoon by believing this. He probably couldn't even get a zero if he tried. That itself would take quite a bit of intelligence, hence defeating the purpose. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 someone needs to just explain to me what the hell a wonderlic is, never heard of it. Quote Link to comment
Alex 4.0 Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Wiki on the wonderlic. You are crazy if you think that Suh really got a zero. Quote Link to comment
HuskerGBR Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 I heard he actually got all 50 right, but he felt so bad for Gerald McCoy after he smoked him so bad in the combine...so Suh said, "it's all right man. I will take a zero on this, because you need a victory in your life more then I do." So Suh then chased Colt around the building to get some of his anger out. Quote Link to comment
sewardite4NU Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Hahaha this is completely bogus. Here's "the story" which is on a blog with fake football news. Sort of Onion-like. Other stories on the site include one about Jamarcus Russell returning to LSU for his senior season (it was in his contract) and Chad Ochocinco changing his name to a unpronounceable symbol like Prince. Link Suh gets an “0” on Wonderlic Ndamukong’s (above) draft stock falls due to “perfect fail” NFL Scouting Combine, Indianapolis – Many people’s consensus Number One overall pick, Ndamukong Suh, had a combine he would like to forget in a hurry. Despite posting good numbers on the athletic disciplines, it’s Suh’s Wonderlic score that is leaving NFL scouts searching for answers. RTLS’ insider at the scouting combine reported that Suh scored a “perfect” 0 out of 50 for the intelligence test. This score eclipsed the previous low (of 4) set by Darren Davis in 2000. Davis’ score was embellished by the 2 points given for spelling your name; so it’s safe to say that Ndamukong had trouble spelling Ndamukong to even register a 2! So what does this mean for Suh’s draft prospects? Many still have him as a top round pick, with one un-named team official claimed that: “[…] Intelligence is over-rated anyways […]”, whilst others are sceptical at drafting a player who can’t even spell his own name right. One strong rumour that has been circling is Suh failed the test on purpose as he didn’t want to go to the St. Louis Rams first overall. Suh was unavailable for comment on the matter. If true no one could particularly blame him, however, it’s a novel way to control your drafting destiny and there are surely better ways to avoid being drafted by particular teams (see Eli Manning’s “hissy fit” in 2004). We will only really see the damage that laying the egg on the Wonderlic does come draft time in April. Meanwhile in other news, Rich Eisen’s new record 6.25 in the 40-yard dash sees him moving up the draft boards at a rate of knots. However he’s likely to remain undrafted until he breaks the 6-second mark. RTLS. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 The thing that should have immediately given it away is the fact that it comes from blogspot, where anybody can create a blog and write about anything. Quote Link to comment
kansas husker Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Even though its bogus that story was pretty funny. Quote Link to comment
Zammers Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 The big news here is that Rich Eisen is moving up draft boards. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 In other news, Websters omits the word "gullible" from every print edition to see if people are paying attention. Check it out in your dictionary. Quote Link to comment

HuskerTrucker Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Give me a break....all you have to do is watch the Texas game on tape, that would give him a 50...just ask Colt McCoy. Quote Link to comment
schuhbdoo Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 someone needs to just explain to me what the hell a wonderlic is, never heard of it. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=wonderlic/090218 Here is a sample. Some employers give it as part of your application process. I had to take it once. It is a pressure filled test when you factor in the dollars you can make in a career or a professional sports contract. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Those questions are like sixth or eighth grade level questions. It is an indictment of our education system that a kid can go through two or three years of college and not get 100% on this test every time. Quote Link to comment
huKSer Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 someone needs to just explain to me what the hell a wonderlic is, never heard of it. "How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?" In the original television ad, a boy poses the question to a cow, a fox and a turtle. Each one tells the boy to ask someone else, explaining that they'd bite a Tootsie Pop every time they lick one. Eventually, he asks an owl, who starts licking it, but eventually bites into the lollipop, much to the chagrin of the boy. Linky Suh chomps down in one bite and states categorically, "None". Tester dutifully writes down zero. 1 Quote Link to comment
