Kenny Iorns test score was kept secret. Writer Tom Beal said Kenny Iorns score might have been 0. That would mean both brothers score would equal 4.
:biggrin:
Walterfootball needs a proofreader. I saw three words misspelled. Cells was used in place of sells.
This is the test it was claimed Vince Young did terrible on

I thought Andre's would be higher. I took it in 1999 with a company and scored 44. It's not what you know, but how you take the test. I would assume that the agents get the player with some sort of test tutor to help them prepare (as anyone would do), but maybe not.
AU's Junior Rosegreen is the Wonderlic Crown Champion. Go down to Negatives, The Sociology major could not finish the the test and scored a 2/32.

I made a 43 on it when I took it for a job interview many years back, and was actually a bit upset at myself when I got the results back.
For prospects who have actually spent any amount of time preparing for it, making a 0-15 is pretty much unacceptable. It's all basic knowledge, and as someone said earlier it's really more about how you take the test than anything else.
I tell you, it really makes you wonder when you see these very low scores. Some of these guys come out and make a 3 or a 4 on the Wonderlic, all the while they not only stayed eligible but actually graduated from an accredited university with a college degree. It really does make you realize all of the basketweaving majors that football players are pushed into, and it really calls into question just how much academic "help" these guys are getting in the first place. I'll tell you this much, I roll my eyes every time I see one of those laughable NCAA commercials extolling the virtues of these supposed "student-athletes."

Andre's "agent" seems to have made several questionable decisions. So I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't done in his case.

No, Eli scored a 39 when he took it a few years back.
I actually don't think anyone at the NFL Combine has ever made a perfect 50 on the test. It seems to me like a kid from one of the Ivy League schools a couple of years back made a 49, and they said then that was the highest score they had seen to yet.
Yet the Irons' brothers somehow remained academically eligible as college students to play in all those football games for the Barn. Unbelievable.
Not just that, but...
Kenny managed to stay eligible at two different SEC institutions (Auburn and South Carolina), and David actually managed to graduate from a JUCO, get eligible, and remain eligible at Auburn.
Again, it's not just an Auburn thing. Bottom line, with the way the current system is structured, the only way you can become academically ineligible is if you are ungodly stupid (perhaps even exceeding the generally accepted levels of mental retardation) or if you are just unbelievably lazy, and even in those two cases you can probably still stay eligible more often than not.
Kenny did get 5 points for figuring out how to stuff a midget in a suitcase. So at least he's got that going for him.
If I'm not mistaken, the answer is Pat McInally, Bengals P and reserve WR in the 70s and 80s.
