Rumors Swirling About Vince Young's Intelligence

A couple of years ago, some people were quietly rapping Vince Young for not having the intelligence to play the position in football that is most demanding on a player's smarts. All of those concerns seemingly went out the window as Vince took the Horns to an undefeated season and National Championship last year.

Well, the doubters are back. Apparently (or allegedly) Vince scored a miserable 6 (out of 50) on the Wonderlic test at the NFL combines. The Wonderlic is a 50 question exam with a 12-minute time limit that is used to examine a player's ability to learn. The test results are supposed to be kept private, but they are often leaked, especially when they are this bad. There has been confusion as to Vince's poor showing. Some say the test was either not administered or graded properly, while others say he was given the test a second time and scored 16. Better, but still not amazing. However, Vince's agent has said that scouting combine officials assured him that the "6" was a false result and that the real test results would be made known at the end of the combine.

To put it in some perspective, last years #1 pick Alex Smith scored a 40. The most recent QB product to go to the pros from the 40 Acres, Longhorn Chris Sims, scored a 22. But since when as anyone won a Super Bowl by taking a test. As Hollywood Henderson once said of Terry Bradshaw, "He couldn't spell 'cat' if you spotted him the 'c' and the 'a.' And last we checked, Bradshaw has a handful of rings and a trophy case full of SB MVP's.
