Hard to believe that Neil Smith said, 'F it. I'm gonna piss away $200,000 because I can't be bothered with this ten minute test'.

Or, maybe, that's exactly the thought process of a sub-10 Wonderlic guy. Hmmm.

That Wonderlic score really hurt Smith.

He fell all the way to second pick in the draft.

D lineman from Nebraska who had a good pro career. Maybe with KC? Did he lose draft position because of his wonderlic score and how is that known? Are there examples of other linemen who were top prospects in the draft who fell in the draft because of their wonderlic scores? Is there proof of direct causation, i.e., not just that there is correlation? I could see there being worries about a draftable QB with a really bad wonderlic score. Didn't the LSU QB, Jamarcus Russell, still go No. 1 with a bad score? But again, that was the Raiders and he flopped.
