My trip went well, but it was uneventful. We didnt get to stop at any of the stuff i wanted to see. But i still drove through the painted desert. And as far as the thread... click on the link. The wonderlic is pretty much an iq test given to certain positions at the combine. Players who score a 20 have average intelligence. A score of 10 means they are illiterate. Foster scored a 9... that with his watered down ua, doesnt look too good for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metafour 4,958 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 This isn't taken as seriously by NFL teams as people think so a lot of these guys barely even try. Either way, it really doesn't matter for most positions. A few of the positions actually show negative-correlation: Corners for instance saw impact players by and large actually score lower on the test. Yeah, Reuben Foster isn't really smart. Most of these guys aren't smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlaskanFAN 1,665 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Well we will see how much Bama did for him as far as film study, coverages and calling defensive alignments. He won't be able to fake it in the Not For Long league. You either understand it or you dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad reality for many athletes. I was talking to a car dealer a few years ago whose brother played in the NFL for something like 10 seasons (retired at 32). I think he played on the defensive line, and I can't remember his name. Anyway, he told me that his brother saved something like 60-80% of every pay check he got, never drove a nice car, lived in a modest home, and at age 32 was able to retire before his body was ruined. Now he's 32 with no debt, a paid for home on some land, and can do whatever he wants. I can't say that I would have had that sort of discipline straight out of college, but those are the stories that I love hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just from a spectators point of view, RF looked like he understood a pretty complex defensive system, he did alright on one of the top defenses at the college level. He played reckless and dangerous a couple of yrs ago, but once he was the man on the D it appeared he had the head to grasp the concepts...looked like he was prepared, knew his job and executed.

Agree...I guess they are out there but never saw much evidence that some guys are just not bright enough to play the game....I expect it is there but it is hard to find a correlation between academic intelligence and accomplishments on the football field...especially on the defensive side. Have listened to enough interviews over the years where you wonder how the guy finds his way home...but he's a monster when he gets on the field. JMO but RF will do fine....if he can stay out of trouble...which is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoALtiger 3,813 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Oh he'll be fine. They don't need him to break down quadratic equations or ponder the meaning of life. See ball, destroy guy with ball. Makes for a funny story though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolondo McClain comes to mind. He may not be a bad guy but he is obviously not bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
