Report: Johnny Manziel's Wonderlic score highest among QBs
Polarizing draft prospect Johnny Manziel may be a bit of a brainiac, former NFL scout John Middlekauff reports.
I've been told Johnny Football had the highest wonderlic test of all the top QB's in this years draft

Talked to multiple assistant coaches who have had Johnny on private team visits. All raved about his intelligence.

The avg wonderlic score for a starting QB in '12 was 29, anything above 30 is outstanding. Johnny scored above both numbers

Wonderlic scores are supposed to remain private, but they typically leak out around this time in the draft process. Sometimes teams leak them to drive up the draft stock of players (usually ones they don't plan to draft), and sometimes teams leak them in the hopes of seeing the player they want fall in the draft.
