Case Study: NFL Scouting Combine assesses player cognitive ability with Wonderlic

NFL Scouting Combine - Customer Case Study

The NFL Scouting Combine, which evaluates top college football prospects, required a consistent and secure method to assess the cognitive ability of potential NFL players. This was a critical need for teams to make informed, high-stakes draft decisions between athletes with similar physical skills. The Combine partnered with Wonderlic and implemented the Wonderlic Personnel Test (WPT-R) to evaluate players' capacity to learn, solve problems, and process information quickly.

Wonderlic provided a robust cognitive ability test with a long history of validation and stringent security measures to ensure the integrity of the results. The vendor's solution delivered reliable data that the NFL Scouting Combine uses as one of several key indicators to build a complete profile of each athlete. This partnership, which has been in place for decades, provides teams with vital insights that contribute to better draft decisions.
