The funny thing about Stafford signing with the Lions, reportedly one of the richest contracts in NFL history, is that I thought he was not playing with a full deck. I mean seriously, who wants to go to Detroit? That franchise is a wreck that may take a miracle to rebuild.
I was going to write an article about how Stafford’s intelligence must be over rated. After all, he did well on the Wonderlic, but he still wanted to go to Detroit? Makes you wonder WTF is wrong with him?
After his dazzling pro day workout in Athens last week, word is now that the Bulldogs’ quarterback — rated by many as the best quarterback in this year’s NFL Draft — scored the highest score on the Wonderlic test of any other quarterback.
Stafford reportedly scored 38.
USC’s Mark Sanchez scored 28 and Kansas State’s Josh Freeman 27.
The test, which measures problem-solving ability, features 50 questions and a 12-minute time limit.
Though the test is rarely completed, the Wonderlic is typically regarded as a good way to measure a player’s intelligence.
So now we know that not only is Stafford a smart guy, he is going to be incredibly wealthy. Sounds like he is living the high life.
