Alright, so I was digging into this whole NFL thing, right? And I stumbled upon this dude, Joshua Dobbs. Quarterback. Smart cookie, they say. Aerospace engineering and all that jazz. But what really caught my eye was this thing called the Wonderlic test. It’s like an IQ test for football players, can you believe it?
So, I started poking around. Turns out, this Dobbs guy scored a 29 on the Wonderlic. Now, I’m no expert, but that seemed pretty decent to me. Then I saw some other scores for comparison. Like, this other quarterback, Minshew, he scored a whopping 42! But get this, he’s got a communications degree. No offense to comms majors, but it’s not exactly rocket science, you know?
Then it hit me – Dobbs has an IQ of 135! That’s like, top 1% of the population smart. He could probably join Mensa or something. I mean, the dude’s building rockets and throwing touchdowns. Talk about a double threat.
My Deep Dive into Wonderlic Scores
- Started by searching for more info on this Wonderlic thing. Found a list of, like, 400 NFL players and their scores.
- Compared Dobbs’ score to other players. Some were higher, some were lower. It’s all over the place. A.J. Green, wide receiver, only got a 10. There are also some guys with really high scores, like this punter, Pat McInally, who scored a perfect 50!
- Checked out Jalen Hurts’ score. Initially, they said he got an 18, but later I found out it was actually a 21. Still pretty low for a quarterback, though.
- Got really into it and ended up spending hours going through these scores, trying to see if there’s any correlation between high scores and success on the field. Jury’s still out on that one.
Anyway, I also found out that Dobbs has been playing pretty well. He filled in for an injured player last year and did great. And this season in Arizona, he’s been putting up some good numbers.
So, yeah, that’s my little journey into the world of Joshua Dobbs and the Wonderlic test. It’s pretty fascinating, even if you’re not a huge football fan. Makes you think about intelligence and how it translates to different fields, you know? It’s been a wild ride, but hey, that’s what makes life interesting, right?
