Woderlic Wonderland

Several weeks ago Ryan Clady was exposed for being a less-than-brilliant athlete when someone leaked his Wonderlic score. Well, some more scores were leaked this morning. Here are some of the more interesting results:

• Some lousy performers:
  
  Sedrick Ellis (15)
  Andre Woodson (14)
  Mario Manningham (6)
  Brandon Albert (19)
  James Hardy (14)
  Matt Forte (16)
  Philip Merling (13)
  Rashard Mendenhall (23)
  Jonathan Stewart (20)
  
  
• Some good performers:
  
  Frank Okam (39)
  Trevor Laws (30)
  John Carlson (40)
  Jordy Nelson (28)
  Jeremy Zuttah (26)

The median score is usually around 27.

According to a handful of studies on the matter, there is very little correlation between Wonderlic score and NFL performance; however, the true efficacy of the test is very difficult to measure for a number of methodological reasons. Still, all other things being equal, most would prefer a smarter athlete.
