NFL Combine Class of 2008 Results #NFLCombine

Last Updated on March 28, 2010

This week is dedicated to the NFL Scouting Combine, held February 24 – March 2, 2010.

The class of 2008 remains special to me because we saw 21 men under 4.40 in the 40 yard dash. and 42 under 4.50 seconds!

Speed is one thing, and so is strength and agility. Those qualities are innate (but can be trained, to a certain degree). Football skills and rules can be taught.

But how about measuring intelligence?

Enter the Wonderlic test.

What the Heck is a Wonderlic Test?

The Wonderlic Test is an intelligence test that has been around in the National Football League since the 1970s. The Wonderlic is a 12 minute, 50 question exam to judge their aptitude for adapting to certain situations.

The Wonderlic test comprises of a multiple choice questions and answers with increasing difficulty. The Wonderlic test is designed so most players will never have enough time to complete it.

Of course, Pat McInally, a punter and wide receiver from Harvard is the only football player to record a perfect score of 50. I guess that’s why he went to Harvard.

A score of 20 is intended to indicate average intelligence.

This table is sorted by 40 yard dash times only because of the recent buzz of Chris Johnson challenging Usain Bolt in the 40. They should have this race and give all proceeds to Haiti.

Combine results, plus their stats from College, will give football scouts a field day during the NFL draft in April!
