News Mo Claiborne reportedly scores a 4 on the Wonderlic Test

I'm severely dyslexic too...I ran for public office and got killed.

My campaign manager kept saying "Steve SHAKE the hand...KISS the baby !!!!!!"




Apparently, I got it all backwards. (My bad)

 

Learning Disability ha

 

If a pro prospect has a legitimate learning disability, and all the GMs in the league know about it, and he cannot be expected to perform adequately in a timed intelligence test, and its OK because no one thinks the Wonderlic is important for coverage ability anyway, then why in the world is that prospect taking the Wonderlic? Mo should have refused it if this was all the case.

 

Learning Disability has nothing to do with intelligence. I've seen kids with a 125 IQ that could barely read S-T-O-P. (That's an exaggeration, but you get my drift.) An LD is basically a glitch in the way the brain processes information. Think of it like a computer. You can type in the information correctly, but if the wires are crossed, the information is not processed correctly, and you get garbage out. There are several types of LD, of which Dyslexia is the most well known, though not necessarily the most common.

If a student at any level of academics has been diagnosed with an LD, federal law requires accommodations based on the particular LD. It should be noted that there is no requirement that the information be "dummied" down. The student must still show a mastery of the subject matter; just that the way in which he/she is required to show mastery must be modified to accommodate the LD. In some instance, for example dysgraphia (handwriting), the student might also be given accommodations in acquiring the information. In the case of dysgraphia, being allowed to tape the lecture or getting notes from another student.

 

Anyone remember PP7's score from last year, didn't hurt his draft. This won't hurt Mo. All PP7 did last year should settle this. Talking with a draft friend, this won't have anything to do with Mo, hes the safe bet for teams and they know this. This could have been leaked by a lower team or agent with another CB in the draft.

 

His score on the wonderlic is his score on the wonderlic, I don't get why it's supposed to be kept some big secret. They test these guys on every other level, how fast they run, how strong they are, how high they jump etc.....why is this test supposed to be off limits and a secret? Obviously a pigeon randomly pecking at the test with his beak probably would have done better and he's not going to be asked to do long division in the huddle, but he's an adult now and about to be paid millions of dollars so he should be treated like one. Anywho, no doubt he can cover receivers and knock out running backs and that's all that really matters.....rock on Mo.

 

Frank Gore? Yawn.......I wonder what everyone on this forum would score? Have that posted next to your avatar.....now we are talkin.

 

haha case and point.......
