Claiborne says he completed only 15-to-18 Wonderlic questions

One of the more surprising stores in advance of the draft related to the score generated by cornerback Morris Claiborne on the Wonderlic test. He scored only a four, and after being selected by the Cowboys with the sixth pick in the draft, he spoke about the test.
“That test don’t tell me who I am and what time of guy I am and what kind of ability I have,” Claiborne told SiriusXM NFL Radio, via USA Today. “That test can’t drop me.”
“They say it’s an IQ test,” Griffin added. “I came to the Combine for football. I looked at the test, and wasn’t any questions about football. I didn’t see no point in the test. I’m not in school anymore. I didn’t complete it. I only finished 15 or 18 questions.” :chuckles:
Claiborne’s attitude toward the test underscores the role of agent Bus Cook in the outcome. It was Cook’s job to prepare Claiborne for everything he encountered at the Combine, and to get Claiborne ready for everything — including the Wonderlic test.
By all appearances, Cook didn’t even tell Claiborne that he’d be taking a test of any kind at the Scouting Combine.
