If an NFL prospect scores at least a 26 on the Wonderlic test, starts at least 27 games in his college career and completes at least 60 percent of his passes, there's a good chance he will succeed at the NFL level.

There are, of course, exceptions. If NFL general managers always could measure heart, determination and other intangibles, then Tom Brady would not have been drafted in the sixth round.

But short of breaking down tape, conducting personal interviews and analyzing every number and every snap of every game, remember the Rule of 26-27-60 the next time a hotshot prospect comes down the pike.

Since 1998, these are some of the NFL quarterbacks who aced all three parts of the Rule of 26-27-60: Peyton Manning, Phillip Rivers, Eli Manning, Drew Brees, Tony Romo, Matt Schaub, Kyle Orton, Kevin Kolb, Matt Ryan, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Stafford

Really that is a mixed bag. TRD this might be the thread you were hoping for!!!

[Jackofalltrades]

Can't wait to see all the scores from this year's class.

[Jaxel]

What was Gabberts score, how many games did he start and what was his completion percentage?

[ladypanther]

I think the wonderlic will be an essential evaluation tool on the QB's. Sam Bradford had a 36 last year. Might be why he went #1.

Interesting is that Russell had a 24. Hope the Panthers also require a MMPI (comprehensive psychological test).

It is clearly culturally biased. Many of the best QBs on the bottom side of that list are a certain ethnicity.

Garrard, Culpepper, Vick, McNabb, Cunningham.

I'm calling cultural bias.

Freeman has the highest score for an African American at 27

Uh oh...

There will be some banning coming after that baiter

That was an observation not an accusation. If it is a problem let me know and I will remove it.

People will either take it that the test is aimed to make african americans look stupid.

Or people will take it that african americans are too dumb to take the test and do well.

Either way it's not a good outlook and it could take some turns for the worst.

Removed. My bad.

48 is what I saw reported for Gabbert earlier.

I think he meets the 26-27-60 rule.

LOL at Bradshaw, Kelly and Marino!
