Brohm, Ryan are Wonderlic standouts

NFL teams expect most prospects will score well because players can prepare for the tests. When a player has an unusually low score, it sets off alarms.

A person of average intelligence is supposed to score a 20. NFL teams like to see quarterbacks, offensive linemen, middle linebackers and safeties score higher than that because those positions can be mentally demanding.

At the quarterback position, none of the top prospects laid a Wonderlic egg. Boston College's Matt Ryan, he of the off-the-charts intangibles, scored an impressive 32. And his score was matched by Louisville's Brian Brohm, who is the second-highest-rated quarterback after Ryan on most boards.

Joe Flacco of Delaware scored a 27 and Chad Henne of Michigan scored a 22. Both are considered second-round prospects.

It sounds impressive, but I've taken those little IQ tests they have on Madden's Superstar Mode, and let's just say I've done pretty well.

Tell me what city the Liberty Bell is in (with four choices, of course) and we'll talk Brohm.

Also on First Take earlier they announced John David Booty got a 14 or 15 on his test lol. Also some Harvard dude apparently got a perfect 50 a few years back.
