Former LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne, a likely top-five pick in this month's NFL draft, scored a four on his Wonderlic intelligence test at the NFL combine.
That's four. Zero-four. Four out of 50. Usually those two numbers bring to mind Tim Tebow's passing stats or the Oakland Raiders won-loss record, not a score on a test where a mark of 10 is considered literate.

Who's to say he actually went to class or did his homework?

 

[Svnla]

Athletics =! regular students (most of them, not all of course). To them, college is just a small stepping stone to big money. It does not matter of what the NCAA admin says.

Did one of the QB scored very poor a couple years ago? Young I believe.

See how you score on some examples from a Wonderlic IQ test.

Set your clock for five minutes, don't peek at the answers, and ... oh, yeah, run the 40 and give us some bench-presses first, would ya?

Took the 50 question version myself out of the cold in the standard 12 minutes, got a 37 (12 above the NFL average).

Supposedly, they practice taking these kinds of test for weeks in advance of the combine.

All of those, except 13, in 4 minutes.

11 killed me. Its been too long since I've solved an equation and wasted a bunch of time. Didn't bother with 13 since I was running out of time.

I've already had two beers and I got them all right with 1.5 minutes to spare and no scratch paper.

Many college athletes are meatheads and are shielded from their academic responsibilities, this is not news.

Blame this guys agent for not prepping him -

I doubt he is anywhere close to getting a diploma. 12-credits of Gen Ed most likely his entire college career with tutors doing the majority of his homework/papers.

 

[SZLiao214]

I got them all but the one about sunlight in 3 mins 3 seconds. If i had rushed less i probably would have gotten it.

Makes LSU look kinda shitty.

So what? He's looking for a position in the NFL, not the chess club or Mensa. It's not like cornerback is exactly a "brains" position on the team either.

I think the larger implication is that LSU is graduating students that are barely literate. That is a problem.

i think my 5 year old niece could get over 4 on that

Seriously. It's not like he's being fucking tested in Advance Calculus or Quantum Physics.

Most of the questions are basic math and logic.

 

[PottedMeat]

lol

from yahoo comments:

At least he won't be reading all these comments.

i think i've seen questions like that before - in one of those state elementary school or middle school tests.

I think the larger implication is that MOST DIVISION ONE COLLEGES ARE graduating students that are barely literate. That is a problem.

he's a good guy - I'm told he has a rather serious learning disability

I'm no LSU fan either, but let's hear the story behind this before we bury the guy

Its extremely unlikely this guy could ever have been legitimately academically eligible. Then again, probably a third of NCAA D1 football players shouldn't be academically eligible.

Vince Young scored a 6, therefore Texas = shitty per your logic?

LSU is the one that should be embarrassed.

Shows what a joke high-level college sports are. We should just have a football minor league, to hell with the NCAA.
