What did Patrick Mahomes score on the Wonderlic test? Revisiting 3x Super Bowl champion’s pre-draft numbers
AFC Championship – Kansas City Chiefs v Baltimore Ravens
Patrick Mahomes has emerged as one of the top quarterbacks since being drafted by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2017. The quarterback has already received six Pro Bowl honors and three Super Bowl rings.
Although Mahomes has achieved plenty of success in the big league, he was surprisingly the 10th overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft. This was despite a successful three-year stint at Texas Tech, where he racked up 11,252 yards and 93 touchdowns across 32 games.
While some fans have figured that his performance at the NFL Combine might have led to a late pick, some believe that the quarterback’s Wonderlic test score of 24/50 might have been the reason.
Mahomes’ score of 24 is considered fairly average for a signal caller. However, given his recent record on the gridiron, it’s safe to assume that the Chiefs didn’t pay much attention to this score when they drafted Mahomes.
