I'm sure they look at the Wonderlic scores.  This last Packer draft class was the NFL's "All Academic".This is clearly not a make-or-break criteria.  Neither Clinton-Dix, Lacy nor Cobb is going to solve the relativity-quantum theory paradox, all of whom showed poorly on the Wonderlic test.  However, there's clearly an emphasis on native intelligence that goes to coachability, or so the theory goes.  The law of averages says a guy should score at least a 12 on the Wonderlic if he just answered all the questions randomly (they are all multiple choice or true/false questions).If you draft a guy from a football factory with a mid-teen on down Wonderlic, and there are lot of them in every draft, you may be acquiring a guy who is functionally illiterate often with ancillary baggage that comes with it.</blockquote>
