Texans general manager Charley Casserly disputed reports that Vince Young got a poor score on the Wonderlic test.
Young reportedly got a six on the 50 question test, which grades intelligence and speed of thought. If that were the case, the Texas quarterback would have gotten one of the worst scores in history.
"Yes I've been told that's inaccurate by a source good enough for me to stand up here to quote it," Casserly said Sunday. "Otherwise, I wouldn't get up here and say it."
An NFL spokesman said scores don't come out until a week after the combine.
Casserly might have been defending his future quarterback. The Texans have the first pick in the April draft, and he named three players as standing above the rest: Young, USC quarterback Matt Leinart and USC running back Reggie Bush.
Casserly left multiple possibilities open, including trading the pick to improve his 2-14 team.
"We need a lot of things," he said. "I think we've got a nucleus. I don't think we're as bad as our record, but we're not a playoff team. We can make a jump here if things are hit right between free agency and the draft."
The Tennessee Titans have the third overall pick and are looking at quarterbacks with Steve McNair nearing retirement. Coach Jeff Fisher put Vanderbilt quarterback Jay Cutler in the mix with Leinart and Young.
