Okay, so I saw this thing online about Jalen Hurts’ Wonderlic score and I got curious. You know, the Wonderlic is that test they give NFL players, kind of like an IQ test, but for football smarts. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about with Hurts.
First, I dug around for some info on what a “good” Wonderlic score even is. Seems like anything above 20 is considered decent, and quarterbacks usually score a bit higher.
My Deep Dive into Wonderlic Scores
- Started searching: I just Googled “Jalen Hurts Wonderlic score.” Simple as that.
- Found some articles: Lots of sports blogs and news sites popped up. I clicked on a few that looked legit, not those clickbaity ones.
- Got the number: Most places were saying Hurts scored an 18. A few had different numbers(it’s not public knowledge), but 18 seemed to be the most common one.
- Compared it to others: I looked up some other quarterbacks’ scores, just to get some context. Guys like Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen scored higher, in the mid-20s.
- Read some opinions: I scrolled through some forums and comment sections (yeah, I know, dangerous territory) to see what people were saying. Some folks were saying the Wonderlic doesn’t matter, others were using it to predict Hurts’ success.
Honestly, after all that, I’m not sure how much the Wonderlic score really tells you. It’s just one piece of the puzzle, I guess. Hurts has obviously done pretty well for himself, regardless of what some test said. I mainly did to kill my time for the curiosity.
