Although most people dismiss the results, future NFL prospects partake in the Wonderlic test at the annual NFL Scouting Combine as part of the workout process; and because intelligence is attributed so much to how well someone can play the quarterback position, the scores of the top prospects are a hot topic of discussion.
Thursday afternoon, it was reported that it was Texas A&M product Johnny Manziel that ended up coming out with the highest score, although his actual score was not released at the time.
Well, NFL analyst Albert Breer has the scores, and Manziel did indeed come out on top with a 32, with Bortles coming in second and Bridgewater third.
At the combine, Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel rang up an impressive score of 32 on the Wonderlic, I'm told. Should help his cause.

And as for the other two quarterbacks there with Manziel -- Blake Bortles scored a 28 and Teddy Bridgewater scored a 20.

Again, this really doesn’t carry much weight as to how these three can perform on the field, yet the NFL chooses to use the practice anyway.
