For me...QB is the only position I would look at scores for on this. And as long as they score above like a 20 I don’t care. That position just requires more analytical skills than any other. If my wr runs a 4.38 and catches everything thrown his way I don’t even ask what the scores are.

- Start date
I feel like thats what players say when they don’t do well. As a player going into the draft, why would you not at least try your hardest at every test thrown at you?
Personally, I wouldn’t put much stock into the actual results as I would the effort. Its kind of like the bench press. I don’t care if my QB can’t bench 225 20 times, but I want to see his level of effort. Will he burn to the max and fight for 1 more rep or does he just give up and quit when he gets tired.
- Nate Stanley: 40
- Justin Herbert 39* (previously 25)
- Jake Fromm: 35
- Joe Burrow: 34
- Jake Luton: 33* (29)
- Brian Lewerke 30* (25)
- Jordan Love: 27
- Anthony Gordon: 25
- Jacob Eason: 23
- James Morgan: 23
- Jalen Hurts: 21* (18)
- Tua Tagovailoa: 19* (13)
I imagine agents/family/friends/etc. are attempting to prep these people for the test. Like most standardized tests, preparing for it makes taking the actual test much easier.
If they're not being prepped or simply don't care about the score, then they're just lazy. If they are being prepped and they're still scoring a 12....then they're probably just that bad.
I wouldn't put a lot of stock into the difference between a good score and a great one. A terrible one would definitely set off some alarms.

Has anyone “criticizing” these scores ever taken one? The questions aren’t hard, but there is a pretty tight time limit for the amount of questions.
If you haven’t taken one, you might be surprised.

I don’t know how accurate or realistic this one is, but I just got a 26 half drunk. Definitely requires very quick thinking and reasoning.
Getting under 12 or so is really bad though.

Well, I play my best golf half, to semi-cocked, so maybe you’re conditioned, like me on a golf course, to be smarter when you’re hammed
I've long believed that intelligence can get in the way in sports. I would often want to sit and analyze every situation but at that level that slows you down way too long. Quarterbacks probably have to be in the sweet spot which appears to be low 20s. Stanley's high score probably explains his inability to hit those long throws, he puts too much thought into not missing.
Anecdotally, I have to agree with this. I just took the test and got a 37. I was above average at baseball, but I was always over-thinking. I'd get a hit and be calculating my average on the way to first base. I'd constantly have stats in my head that would certainly interfere with just playing the game and relaxing.
