Bomani Jones calls out ESPN colleague Darren Rovell for 'Wonderlic shaming'
The Wonderlic is an intelligence test given to prospects at the NFL combine, and while the results are supposed to remain private, some do find their way into the hands of the media.
On Thursday, ESPN business reporter Darren Rovell tweeted out Leonard Fournette's and Dalvin Cook's scores along with a Wonderlic equivalency chart, which didn't sit well with colleague Bomani Jones.

Rovell didn't respond directly to Jones, but did acknowledge the test isn't the best indicator of NFL success.
@TaylorRooks Deion Sanders got a 13. Surprised test is even given anymore.
