How do you think schools like Duke get people to play basketball for them when their academic bar is higher than most schools. Also if a school wants someone to get in, they'll make exceptions regardless of the persons intelligence.

How does someone like Mario Manningham get into the University of Michigan if its standards are allegedly so much higher than other places?

Jerry Rice (not even comparing the greatest WR to MM) ran a slow 40 time coming out of college too, but you never saw him get ran down after he had the rock in his hand.... I want someone to catch, run and recognize not develop the cure for cancer on my football team.... I agree with SSgt Band….

I would really like to see some of the questions on this test. How do you show a low intelligence just visting teams? What, the front door said pull and he was pushing so he couldnt get in.

Whether you want to adjust or not the time, watch the game film of him and how he was a vertical threat. That doesnt come from being sssslow. He may not be the brightest bulb but I dont think you need to know who Sargon The Great was in order to catch footballs in the NFL. When is the last time the WR position exuded intelligence? Chad Johnson? Terrel Owens? Randy Moss? Einstein would be proud. Whoever drafts Manningham will get a play maker, he like all uneducated pro athletes will need guidance.

Young is a supremly talented man but he plays the QB position and you have to pretty smart to quarterback a team. Football smarts maybe different then test/book smart but come on...single digits on the Wonderlic?? Have you seen saple questions from the wonderlic? I have and I am not joking my children 12 and 10 years old would score in the teens. Manningham is talented but not Young. The plus is they play different positions and I would imagine WR is a lot less cerebral than QB. Add in Manningham's pot issue...and I would run run run away. I would not draft him at all. Lastly, what did Randy Moss score on the wonderlic? He is a supreme talent (ala Young) at an easier position and has done very well...he could have been the best of all time if he would just stop being silly and put the pot down until his playing days are over!
