GAINESVILLE — Tim Tebow proved at the NFL Combine two weekends ago that he is a physical freak for a quarterback: He tied a Combine record with a vertical leap of 38.5 inches, ran a 4.7 in the 40 and dominated all participants in the cone and shuttle drills.
But when it comes to thinking on his feet in a pressurized environment, Tebow is a little bit behind the pack.
Tebow scored slightly below average for an NFL quarterback on the Wonderlic test, a 12-minute, 50-question exam given at the Combine that assesses a person's learning and problem-solving abilities.
Tebow scored a 22 out of 50 on the Wonderlic test, an NFL source told the Post Wednesday. The score falls slightly below the average score for an NFL quarterback, which is 24. But the average for 30 quarterbacks slated to start in 2010 is even higher, at 28.5. And the average score among the past seven Super Bowl winners is a 30.1. The scores for Kansas City's Matt Cassel and Carolina's Matt Moore could not be found.
