Although the NFL officially opted to not administer the Wonderlic test to prospects at the 2022 scouting combine, scores for some of this year’s top quarterbacks still managed to leak out ahead of this weekend’s draft.
The Wonderlic, an aptitude test administered to draft hopefuls at past combines, was not given at the 2022 event. Although the league did not give an official reason as to why the evaluation was removed, NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent called the test an “outdated process.”
According to the New York Times, there has been no documented “statistically significant correlation between a player’s Wonderlic score and his on-field performance.
