Contuining his way of modeling the Green Bay Packers after the Patriots, Ted Thompson drafted quality human beings, and some very SMART young men.

The Average score on the Wonderlic test is 19. here is how the rookies fared.



AJ Hawk - 27&21(took it twice)

Daryn Colledge - 30

Will Blackmon - 20

Ingle Martin - 32&30 (took it twice)

Tony Moll - 23

Dave Tollefson - 31




And time for the not so great scores...

Tyrone Culver - 16

Johnny Jolly - 13&10

Cory Rodgers - 14

Greg Jennings - 18

Abdul Hodge - 17




Jason Spitz - unavailable




So 5 smart, 5 dummies. lol.

Hodge gets the benefit of the doubt, cuz...hes awesome. Jennings runs routes well and has great hands.

The real question is did these guys score higher their 1st or 2nd time?

well in most cases, the difference was 1 or 2 points...so it doesnt matter really. not much of a gap to care.

I read something on Hawk that he actually was one of those kids (and was even in college) that didn't want too miss any school. That tells you something about his character. I really like this Draft in terms of need and value. Time will tell whether or not it was really a success or not.

I like that we are building the New England way - with smart players...not just playmakers.

Not to rip on Sherman, but it seemed like we drafted a bunch of unintelligent players during his tenure.

I know but it is just a bit embarrassing when you do worse on the 2nd test.

does the wonderlic test really really mean that much? if that is the case then that QB that got a 9 or so should not have been drafted. Book smart street dumb i danno we will se how it all washes out in camp :) personally I hope the Pack proves all the nay saying analysts incorrect. But win or lose I LOVE DA PACK !
