A controversy regagarding the Wonderlic, a standardized test given to all recruits, could also be a problem for Young. On Feburary 25, 2006, during the NFL Combine, a rumor surfaced that he scored a six (6), out of a possible fifty (50) points, on his Wonderlic Test. The test is designed to measure cognitive ability, which could indicate a player's ability to learn a complex NFL playbook. The Wonderlic corporation has resisted equating a score with a given I.Q. Charlie Wonderlic Jr., president of Wonderlic Inc., says, "A score of 10 is literacy, that's about all we can say."[14] Some observers believed this score would lower Young's draft selection and faulted his agent, Major Adams, for not preparing Young ahead of time with practice tests.[15]
However, on February 26th, combine officials said the reported score of 6 was incorrect. According to NFL Spokesman Steve Alic, "I can tell you absolutely that the score that has been reported on the Internet is inaccurate. I spoke to the person who graded the test, and he assured me that that number was not correct." [16] That same day, the test was properly readministered and Young scored a 16, according to his agent Major Adams[17]. Wonderlic are released to NFL teams for recruting purposes, but are not supposed to be released publicly.

Wow, he got a 16 on the restest, the second time he took the test, and scored a 16. 6 points above what is rated as literate. I hope whoever gets this guy has a very simple playbook.
