  • Hardship, Then Hope Tell the Story of Arizona State QB Manny Wilkins
    Hardship, then hope tell the story of Arizona State QB Manny Wilkins By Bruce Feldman/The Athletic/June 26, 2018 REDONDO BEACH, Calif. — The starting quarterback at Arizona State is in law school, which in itself is remarkable given the hours that college QBs devote to trying to run their teams and dissect each week’s opponent. He’s also on his fourth offensive coordinator, and that number feels noteworthy, too. Before he arrived in Tempe, he lived in Minnesota, Las Vegas, Colorado, Texas and a bunch of places in California. Stability is relative. Actually, everything is relative. Among the eight college counselors working the Elite 11 Finals this month in Southern California, two were seniors being touted as future NFL first-round picks — Auburn’s Jarrett Stidham and Missouri’s Drew Lock. Five others are the front men of teams with top 10 promise — Alabama's Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa, Penn State’s Trace McSorley, West Virginia’s Will Grier and UCF’s McKenzie Milton. The other was a guy who’s battled through a bunch of injuries and been on teams the past three seasons that are a combined two games under .500. But when Manny Wilkins Jr. tells his story of how he got here, what it all means to him and why it matters, it is clear he matters and belongs as much as any of his peers here. Let’s start with the toughest thing he’s had to overcome. Wilkins’ father died from a drug overdose when Manny was 10. Manny Wilkins Sr.

    ISyE 2028 – Basic Statistical Methods - Fall 2015 Bonus Project: “Big” Data Analytics Proposal (or Final Report) NFL Draft Prospects: A study on predicting top NFL drafts Bhavna Choudhury Georgia Institute of Technology November 2015 | Bhavna Choudhury Introduction American Football plays a very large role in American media and culture. American football as a whole is the most popular sport in the United States. In the United States, professional football and college football are the most popular forms of the game, with the other major levels being high school and youth football. As of 2012, nearly 1.1 million high school athletes and 70,000 college athletes play the sport in the United States annually. The National Football League, the most popular American football league, has the highest average attendance of any sports league in the world; its championship game, the Super Bowl, ranks among the most- watched club sporting events in the world, and the league has an annual revenue of around $10 billion. Besides the Super Bowl and other high profile games, one of the most watched events of the sport is the National Football League (NFL) Draft. The draft is an event where professional football teams select some of the top college prospects to be a part of their team for the next season. However, the draft has a greater impact than only on the professional teams and the college prospects. In 2014, the NFL Draft was covered by the NFL Network, ESPN, and ESPN2 over the course of 3 days where 45.7 million people watched. With an event getting so much press and coverage, many fans look to predict the outcomes of the Draft, interested in who their team will draft and which select athletes will be the coveted first round draft picks.

  • The Disparate Impact of the NFL's Use of the Wonderlic Intelligence Test and the Case for a Football- Specific Estt Note
    University of Connecticut OpenCommons@UConn Connecticut Law Review School of Law 2009 Fourth and Short on Equality: The Disparate Impact of the NFL's Use of the Wonderlic Intelligence Test and the Case for a Football- Specific estT Note Christopher Hatch Follow this and additional works at: https://opencommons.uconn.edu/law_review Recommended Citation Hatch, Christopher, "Fourth and Short on Equality: The Disparate Impact of the NFL's Use of the Wonderlic Intelligence Test and the Case for a Football-Specific estT Note" (2009). Connecticut Law Review. 38. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/law_review/38 CONNECTICUT LAW REVIEW VOLUME 41 JULY 2009 NUMBER 5 Note FOURTH AND SHORT ON EQUALITY: THE DISPARATE IMPACT OF THE NFL’S USE OF THE WONDERLIC INTELLIGENCE TEST AND THE CASE FOR A FOOTBALL-SPECIFIC TEST CHRISTOPHER HATCH Prior to being selected in the NFL draft, a player must undergo a series of physical and mental evaluations, including the Wonderlic Intelligence Test. The twelve-minute test, which measures “cognitive ability,” has been shown to have a disparate impact on minorities in various employment situations. This Note contends that the NFL’s use of the Wonderlic also has a disparate impact because of its effect on a player’s draft status and ultimately his salary. The test cannot be justified by business necessity because there is no correlation between a player’s Wonderlic score and their on-field performance. As such, this Note calls for the creation of a football-specific intelligence test that would be less likely to have a disparate impact than the Wonderlic, while also being sufficiently job-related and more reliable in predicting a player’s success.
