One hurdle at the NFL Draft Combine each year comes in the form of the Wonderlic test, a 12-minute exam covering everything from logic to math and vocabulary questions. According to research by former Sports Illustrated writer Paul Zimmerman, the average quarterback score is 24. Pat McInally, a former punter for the Cincinnati Bengals who went to college at Harvard, is the only player to ever score a perfect 50 on the test.
In a move that was a bit ahead of its time, legendary Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry began requiring their potential draft picks to take the Wonderlic in the 1970 to provide more information for their drafting process. Not long after Landry had implemented this as part of the Cowboys drafting regimen, the Wonderlic became a fixture of the NFL Combine as a way to help predict future performance. Considering Landry took his team to five Super Bowls during the 70s, it’s not surprising the rest of the NFL followed his lead.
More Wonderlic perspective. The "baseline" test score is 20. Here are some reported averages for various professions:
Engineer, 29
Programmer, 29
Accountant, 28
Executive, 28
Reporter, 28
Teacher, 28
