RD 2 | PICK 63 - @Chiefs: Willie Gay LB, Miss State
Gay (4.46 40 @ 243 lbs) made our NGS day 2 standouts list with elite athleticism (99 athleticism score) for a linebacker. Suspensions (8 total games) derailed his 2019 season and his production score took a hit (53).#NFLDraftpic.twitter.com/rCpEi7X6qT

If he’s there and the Chiefs don’t go LB in round 1, I think it’s very likely he’s the pick. With great size and athletic ability but inconsistent tape, Gay is a boom or bust pick that I’m willing to gamble on with House and Spags coaching him up. I think Veach will be too.
So to recap - so far we've drafted DJ 2.0, we've drafted a RB who's somewhere between Brian Westbrook and Barry Sanders - so maybe La'Veon Bell? And I guess Willie Roaf 2.0?
Not sure how this pick cannot get you excited based on potential alone. He wrecked a good Alabama O line. Some time under this defensive staff and there may be a monster in the middle of the D. [Reply]

Then, of course, the thing CP never gives credit towards:
Wonderlic 10 - 6th percentile. Scores below this mark are generally considered illiterate.
Wonderlic 14 - 16th percentile. Willie Gay, Jr. who is expected to come in and immediately learn how to play the position at an NFL level, learn the defensive playbook, and start in 2020 because CP.
Wonderlic 22 - 51st percentile. Scores around this mark (20, commonly) are generally considered average intelligence.
Wonderlic 0-9 - CP's finest.
Gay has a higher wonderlic than Ray Lewis... [Reply]

As someone who excelled at standardized tests all my school life, I realized a long time ago that i wasn't nearly as smart as these tests said I was.
The key to doing well on a standardized test is to read a lot. You have to enjoy reading. The reason why is you simply have to read fast to get though all the questions within the time limit.
You get good at reading fast by doing a lot of it. If you read very fast, you will have the time to use deductive reasoning to eliminate a lot of options on the multiple choice standardized tests. This means you will guess well and appear to know more than you really do.
If you don't like to read, or struggle with some cultural or language barrier, the tests will make you appear far dumber than you really are. Muhammad Ali supposedly scored a 79 on an IQ test, which made him not so smart.
Uhhhh yeah. Anyone who watched that guy in an interview knows that's nonsense. Ali was very smart. [Reply]
