I promise this isn't a flame: LINK
I'm not saying that I don't believe him, but this raises so many questions, such as:
1.) what else will he take upon himself to decide if he needs to do it or not?
2.) if he only finished 15 or 18 questions, how did he know the rest of the questions weren't "about football"?
3.)surely he meant to say "kind of guy" and "time of guy" was an editing mistake?
But seriously, I was curious as to what you guys think of the kid and how he will transition into the NFL.
quote:
“I’m human, so some of the things that were being said on twitter got to me,” Claiborne said after his selection. “That test don’t tell me who I am and what time of guy I am and what kind of ability I have. That test cant drop me. “They say it’s an IQ test. 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.”

What an idiot

I don't disagree with what he was saying. They are football players, and he can obviously learn a complicated scheme(Chavis's). I will say that he should just ignore the haters, and not talk out about them.

He's a baller.
Soon to be a rich baller.
Covers like stink on shite.

I think he'll "transition" better than R. Mallet...what do you think ?

Not the sharpest tool in the shed but that can be said for many elite NFL talents. I think he'll be a solid pro for many years

Lets say he made a 100% on the wonderlink....that would have done what for him? Got him drafted in the "pre" first round? If he scored a 4 on the wonderlink, a supposed IQ test, I say good for him because there are a lot of smart people out there with multiple degrees-including myself-who will NEVER make the kind of dough this guy will make in ONE YEAR.

Claiborne's play and consistency speaks for itself. The guy knows football, and was LSU's most talented player last year. Will become an excellent NFL player

Lay off the guy, he has a learning disability..

I do not care if he got a zero, he is better than Terrance Newman.

i liked his response.
makes sense to me. he's drafted to play football; wonderlick scores are released every year to basically show how irrelevant they are to a player's NFL ability.

Did not seem to bother the cowboys

I didn’t complete it. I only finished 15 or 18 questions.

The faster we can all realize that elite SEC football players are not student athletes, the better we will all be. Who gives a frick? Why do we needlessly talk about how dumb these guys are at a skill-set they have never really focused on in their lives? Elite football players eat, sleep, and breathe football and don't have time for anything else. If football makes this guy millions....awesome. If a chemistry degree makes someone else millions, good for them.

This thread needs an anchor.

it was pretty dumb of him to not take it seriously. That being said, he's now playing for his childhood favorite, and considering his work on the field at LSU, i have no problem saying he will work his butt off and will eventually be a Pro-Bowl CB.

I take it he wasn't an English major.

I'm sure Jerry Jones is more concerned with his effort on the field than his effort while sitting at a desk pouring over a test he was ill-prepared and ill-equipped to handle. He drafted him for his abilities as a shutdown corner, not for his keening wit. If this is indicative of some kind of attitude problem like you may be hinting at, then the Cowboys will send his arse packing, Mo won't be quite as rich as he could have been, and that'll be that. I don't think that's what's gonna happen.

Sounds like he doesn't give a shite for the test. All of us would love to be in a position where we can tell everyone we don't give a shite.
