Well, that's one of the reasons I'm here.   Wink

I think the scores are good indices for postitions like IOL, QB, S and ILB, places where there's alot of play calling and scheme reading/directing.  It seems not to matter much for wide receivers.

Or maybe we're looking at a social dynamic here; young kids that are skilled but dumb get shuffled out to WR or RB, where they can rely on natural ability and do less thinking. 

That's what I wonder.  Does it really show whether a kid is better suited for a certain position, or does it not relate at all to some?  Can someone who does really well on the test excel anywhere on the field, depending of course on his physical ability, or do the smart guys only do well at IOL, ILB, QB & S?  Can you be too smart for the "natural ability" positions - tending to overthink rather than just perform?

Or is it all a crock of shit?

Would love to see hard stats on that kind of thing.  Just because I'm often a geek that way...

Well, at least you can take solace in the fact that you scored higher than Vince Young.
