Stanzi hits 30 on Wonderlic

I've had the Fantasy Football Metrics post on Iowa QB Ricky Stanzi's standing going into the NFL e-mailed to me several times. This post puts Stanzi as the No. 1 QB in the draft, basing most everything on his Wonderlic test result.

That result has been leaked and Fantasy Football Metrics posted it today. It says Stanzi posted a 30 on the Wonderlic at the NFL combine.

Here's a snippet from the Metrics story:

In our mathematical analysis of the historical data -- 25 and above is the key mark on a Wonderlic for a College QB, for other theorists a 26 or higher is the key. Scoring high on the Wonderlic does not statistically correlate or equate to certain future QB success....it's just that the opposite is very true, a low Wonderlic has much correlation to QBs who are likely to "bust" over the past decade of test scores. The last 10 Super Bowl winning teams have all been quarterbacked by a QB with a Wonderlic of 25 or greater (2002-03 Brad Johnson, TB = score unknown). In the last 10 Super Bowls, the 20 teams involved...only 1 was led by a QB (Donovan McNabb) that scored below a 25 on his Wonderlic (Kurt Warner, Jake Delhomme unknown scores).

After interviewing Stanzi on a regular basis for three years, this doesn't surprise me. The kid is a genius.
