Boehringer scored a 28 on his Wonderlic test, after never seeing a practice test or the material before.

I'm not that familiar with the test but 28 is pretty high right? If this guy can quickly learn the offense and the NFL game with his physical traits my goodness!

It's weird being excited for what, a 6th rounder? but damn i love this pick the more we find out about this guy. Most 6th round picks don't amount to much but it's because of a lack of physical ability or mental capacity to learn and improve, with this guy it seems like it's mostly about his inexperience which can be overcome unlike the other two, as guys like Patterson show us and the countless amount of guys that lack the physical ability.

Matt Birk got a 46, but he did go to Harvard, you know. :roll:

I think average is 20. Here is a list:

In other words, GU did fine, but I don't think I'd arrive at any conclusions about his future promise as an NFL player based on his score.

Anyone else take the sample test? Kind of fun actually. Anyway I have concluded that 28 is competent but nothing to get excited about.
I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Assuming cmoss84 has been studying German since he was a small child, that would be a fair analogy.

Zimmer on Boehringer today at the Rookie Minicamp presser:

"I was giving him a hard time about being a celebrity... The 'feel good' story is over... it's time to work."


How can you not love this coach?
A Randy Moss fan for life. A Kevin Williams fan for life.

Sorry if this was already posted. It does have a lot of details that have beccome redundant, but its also got interesting info on the attempt to develop a pipeline (or at least a trickle) of international players.

I have taken it in the past several times. Usually score in the high 30's, 37-39. Biggest thing is fast reading and making up your mind quickly. If you are a slow reader, you are screwed. Which is why I feel that some of the low scores are low, not because they didn't know the answers, they just couldn't finish the test.

Don't hate on my Buckeyes. Some of the best Vikings went to Ohio State.
Including now, HOF WR #80 Cris Carter
