Each year, NFL scouts and executives use a number of metrics and measurements to evaluate prospects ahead of the NFL Draft. When it comes to aptitude or cognitive ability, they often rely on players' scores from the Wonderlic Test, a 12-minute assessment consisting of 50 multiple-choice questions.
Participants' scores are representative of the number of questions answered correctly; a score of 25 would mean 25 questions were answered correctly.

With this year's prospects getting ready for the draft, here are the Wonderlic scores of some notable current NFL players. (The NFL does not release Wonderlic results, so the following scores are based on media reports.)
